Assignment #2 Sara Blackwelder

In "Scoppe: Government has to make choices families, businesses don't," an article which appeared on South Carolina's home page, thestate.com, written by Cindi Ross Scoppe, is aimed towards the individuals of South Carolina.

In this article, Scoppe writes about the budget of South Carolina and how our government is choosing to use the money wisely. Within the budget of South Carolina, education has a certain amount of money that is put away for lottery money, public school funds such as books, desks and teachers. Our government is having to make many choices that will affect them as well. Small businesses are losing money, along with bigger businesses alike. What many people do not realize is the tug of the state revenue and the many possibilities of losing it in many ways that will affect our state population directly.

Scoppe's article expresses the "danger" our state is in as far as budget goes. Our government is having to make major choices that will hinder or help those in need.
