12 | Public Education | SC is actively dismantling public education thru the unconstitutional use of public funds for private schools & by enabling unauthorized use of ~10% of voucher funds for homeschooling. Weakening our already weak public education system.

32 | Rent control for land leases. | South Carolina has quite a few 55+ mobile home communities. They were once an affordable option for the elderly on fixed incomes or the disabled. Since investment firms have come in and bought up many of these communities the land leases have skyrocketed. Land leases mean you own your home but lease the land it sits on, there are no current laws to cap how high they can go. Tenants are held hostage because they cannot afford to move their homes, nor can they sell them with such high leases attached.
