We would certainly be concerned about yet another expansion in the state's higher education system at a time when parents and students are experiencing double-digit tuition increases.
We would ask that anyone in the House who is serious about reforming the workers' compensation system to work toward strengthening this bill when it gets on the House floor.
Tuition caps are a way to not only help control those increases but also to force more collaboration in the higher education system that in many ways is duplicative and inefficient.
The governor believes that protecting the safety of people and property is one of government's basic functions and most important responsibilities. Implementing this system will move us closer to achieving that mission.
We believe she's leading the department in the right direction. She's helping lead Sanford's efforts to change the workers' comp system and helped more property insurance companies take up business on the coast.

The bill in its current form does a lot less to address what businesses from across the state have told us. The workers' compensation system is broken and this doesn't do nearly enough.
