REVENUE, FINANCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY The South Carolina Association of Counties is committed to the concept of Home Rule. It is only by allowing the citizens of the state’s counties and communities to govern themselves by electing their own local governing bodies, that local communities are able to tailor the governmental services available to each community’s individual needs and wishes. An integral part of providing services for the community is the ability to both adequately fund and fund in a fair and balanced manner the services provided. In the same manner that no two communities want or need the same services or level of services, no two communities need or want the same package of revenue raising measures. The South Carolina Association of Counties is committed to providing a menu of revenue raising mechanisms to ensure that local governments can provide the services and levels of service that the citizens demand and expect. By allowing each community a range of revenue producing mechanisms, each community is better able to fund public services in a manner which is fair and balanced for that particular locality. The South Carolina Association of Counties believes that no matter what revenue raising mechanisms are used, the mechanisms must be fair to both the individual taxpayer and the community of taxpayers as a whole. Efficiency, manageability, and stability of the revenue sources used must also be factors in determining the proper method of funding locally provided services. 29
