I have seen too many deaths and so much human pain from alcohol and it would be a healthier and safer step to take rather than taxing people’s food or utilities. Duke Powers is already too high, wanting more and people are struggling very hard to have food and lights, warmth and water. S.C. needs to pull itself up by providing better early childhood education programs, parent education and support, better drug, alcohol rehabilitation programs. It is also very important that we protect our environment – and that means protecting the nature and trees that we have and keeping our air and water and soil from poisons. Wonder what that would add to the budget in health care savings.
