Bill restructuring ports board up for debate
Associated Press
Wednesday, April 1, 2009
COLUMBIA — A bill that takes away the governor's power to fire members of
the South Carolina State Ports Authority board without cause is up for
discussion.
A House Judiciary subcommittee is scheduled to take up the bill Wednesday.
The Senate approved the bill in February with a 31-14.
It requires board members to have backgrounds in business, port
operations or the law. Governors can continue to appoint board members,
but they can no longer remove them at will. Firings must be based on
negligence or the failure of board members to do their duty.
The bill sets the nine members' terms at five years. Legislators say
that's needed because the port system's operation need more stable
leadership less subject to the governor's whims.
