The House voted to override Gov. Mark Sanford's veto of the S.C. Textile Immunity and Revitalization bill, which provides state money to the rehabilitation of abandoned textile mills.
The Senate will have to agree with the House by a two-thirds vote to make the bill law.
I'm with the Senate on this one. Who needs to rehab old textile mills anyway? Instead of having old mills like Whaley Mill and Olympia Mill in Columbia, we can have more like the one in Great Falls that burned for a week or the several in Chester that are falling in on themselves. Yeah, don't rehab them. Let nature reclaim them.

Joe,
I believe you have it backwards. Sanford wanted to eliminate the incentives, and the House overrode his veto.
