It was reinstated it as a one-time budget provision. This will give them time to put something together next year. The holiday is the same as last year, Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. S.C. shoppers to get Energy-Star rebates 102309 - The Augusta Chronicle

Quote:
COLUMBIA --- South Carolinians who want to replace old household appliances with new energy-efficient ones will receive discounts of $50-$500 in March under a state rebate program created by federal stimulus dollars.

John Clark, director of the Budget and Control Board's State Energy Office, said he expects the funding for the rebates -- $3.9 million -- to be exhausted in a few weeks of the rebate program.

Shoppers who take advantage of rebates on Energy Star certified refrigerators, dishwashers and hot water heaters must be state residents making purchases in state.

They also have to turn in their old appliances, which stores and contractors participating in the rebate program must agree to recycle.

It's not the first time Palmetto State officials have tried to give residents a break on green appliance purchases.

But the state Supreme Court scrapped an earlier program to create an October sales-tax holiday for energy efficient appliances when it ruled in May that the act was unconstitutional because of its unrelated parts. The legislation contained a month-long tax holiday for the appliances and a two-day holiday for firearms.

After the high court struck down the gun-tax-holiday, the legislature reinstated it as a one-time budget provision.

That means the "Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday" will have to be reapproved in upcoming years.

But this year, shoppers may purchase handguns, rifles and shotguns tax- free on the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving.

However, lawmakers did not resurrect the tax holiday for energy-efficient appliances.

Really? So it is down to such a science that they know it will be exactly 90 days, no more, no less?

Wondering how it was compared to Land of Sky and SC Arms.
The last few were very disappointing for me.
A lot of price gouging and some of my usual vendors weren't there. ]]> South Carolina Discussion and Firearm News melloyello http://www.usacarry.com/forums/south-carolina-discussion-firearm-news/10266-mrytle-beach-gun-show-anyone-anyone.html Need some advice for Upcoming CWP http://www.usacarry.com/forums/south-carolina-discussion-firearm-news/10201-need-some-advice-upcoming-cwp.html Fri, 06 Nov 2009 02:37:27 GMT I was talking to a friend of mine today that lives in TX and we was discussing my upcoming CWP class, and he asked me if i have ever had anything on... I was talking to a friend of mine today that lives in TX and we was discussing my upcoming CWP class, and he asked me if i have ever had anything on my record, and i replied NO as i have NEVER been arrested nor convicted of anything and he said OK. Then he asked me if i have ever had a Check bounce and have to go to the LEC to take care of it. Then it hit me.. I had to reply yes. As back when i was young and Dumb i did have a rubbery check and was never aware it bounced. And one afternoon a LEO came calling, he told me when i get a chance to get to the LEC and clear it up. I immediately drove up there to clear my name. and did so with the Company that i bounced with..... that has been roughly 12-14 years ago.

So my friend told me that when i fill out my CWP paperwork i BETTER put that down because they will find it.. But i don't even know if it is on my record or anything. That would be the only ONE time or thing that is on my record if it is even..

My question is how should i approach this? My friend said he had the same deal and they sent his app back and he had to fix it and resend it. And with South Carolina being 90 days return on CWP i don't want to hold it up anymore than it will already be held up..

Can anyone tell me how i could obtain a COMPLETE sled check? Mainly because of the fact i have no clue when this all took place i can just guesstimate. and he told me i should try to put the period of when i thought it was on my app. like as in 1994-2000 just to be thourough. But i really don'y know what i should do... Any help?

I love this way of thinking:
