BRACK: Why budget reporting matters

By Andy Brack, editor and publisher  |  Media have gotten so streamlined that only one newspaper wrote a story earlier this month when the S.C. House Ways and Means Committee approved a $9.8 billion budget.

That’s billion with a “B.”  And that “B” means that it matters.  But without reporters meticulously covering what’s going on with your state tax dollars throughout the whole process — and not just at the end when all of the deals have been cut — then there’s a better likelihood that someone will stick a pet project or two in the budget.
