PROPOSED BUDGET CUTS TO HIT SOUTH CAROLINA COURTS
On January 28, 2006, the Post and Courier published Security, judgeships priorities for Toal. In that article it was reported that Chief Justice Toal "also advocated mandatory mediation in some Family Court matters, saying it would go a long way toward keeping harmony in stressful family situations. The adversary 'dog-eat-dog' approach is often harmful to children, she said." And today, in Budget cuts hit S.C. courts, it was reported that proposed budget cuts will further increase the Court backlog.
When will the South Carolina Legislature learn that underfunding the Court System costs the taxpayers more money in the long-run?
