Governor Henry McMaster joined Georgia's Brian Kemp and 20 other Republican Governors in releasing a joint statement on the proposed Reconciliation Spending Bill. The statement criticized the Democrat sponsored legislation for its proposed reckless spending of 740 billion dollars.
The statement reads " While denying recession, Democrats want to raise taxes on businesses and manufacturers, which will force higher costs onto consumers, increase inflation, and aggravate shortages. The last thing Americans need is for Democrats to punish energy producers, which will ultimately hurt working families struggling to pay for gas, food, and utilities.”
Others signing off on the statement include Florida Governor Ron Desantis and governors of other Southern states like Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee.
