.@SamAaronSC, Research Director for the South Carolina Policy Council, said the race for governor will determine the state’s future direction.
“It’s very important to vote,” Aaron said.
“This is going to determine the direction of the state going forward, and I would encourage everybody to refresh up on the candidates and figure out who aligns with what they support.”

“While I understand the tuition mitigation dollars are intended to benefit South Carolina students, a growing share of the overall university enrollment is coming from out of state,” @SamAaronSC added.
“That raises a fair question about why South Carolina taxpayers should continue to finance the rapid expansion of facilities that increasingly serve students from outside the state.”
“South Carolinians are subsidizing this activity, even though a sizable percentage of people in this state did not attend college and will never attend college,” Aaron said.
“I think the university needs to practice living within its means rather than returning to the Legislature every year requesting increased funding.”
“If the state is going to keep providing seemingly endless resources, it would be foolish for the university to say ‘no,’” said South Carolina Policy Council Research Director @SamAaronSC.
“Ultimately, I think the responsibility falls on lawmakers for allowing university spending and state support to grow at such a high rate.”

Rest in Peace to Columbia Police Officer Christopher Delong Jr. who was shot and killed today (8/29/26) in the line of duty.
Officer Delong was a son, a father, a husband, a friend, co worker and a public servant. He leaves behind his wife, two small children and his parents. His father was in Law Enforcement himself.
Officer Chris Delong Jr. has been with CPD since January 2025.
Please keep his family, friends and Columbia Police in your prayers as they navigate through this tragedy.

In Washington, D.C., does anyone realize that we're $40.2 trillion in debt?
Does either party have any plans for how to work through this — or will we just ignore it and pretend it's not there?

.@SamAaronSC with the South Carolina Policy Council said more funding for SNAP should come with policy changes that could help reduce errors.
“Whenever there's an issue somewhere, it's like let's spend more money on it, let's hire new personnel rather than looking at the policies that we're doing and seeing if we can make some changes that would yield better results,” Aaron said.
