UNION — The failure of the state legislature to prioritize its spending is why so many vital services are left underfunded and why the state must continuously borrow money increasing the debt burden on the taxpayer according to State Sen. Shane Martin.

Martin, a Republican and Spartanburg County resident, is currently serving his second term representing S.C. Senate District 13 which includes parts of Greenville, Spartanburg and Union counties. The District 13 portion of Union County encompasses nearly two-thirds of the county including Jonesville, Union, and Buffalo. READ THE REST AT THE UNION DAILY TIME
