Jackson v. Sanford

South Carolina Supreme Court
731 S.E.2d 722, 398 S.C. 580 (2011)

DC

Facts

The 2010-2011 South Carolina annual appropriations bill allocated $248,822,042 to the State Budget and Control Board (the board). Of the total amount appropriated to the board, $25,234,009 was to come from the state’s general fund, and the remainder was to come from other sources or combinations of sources. One column of the bill listed the amount of money allocated from the general fund, and another column listed the total appropriation for each expenditure, but no column indicated the amount of remaining funds that were to be drawn from other sources. Governor Mark Sanford (defendant) responded to the bill with veto 52, an attempt to veto the entire portion of the bill that allocated money from the general fund. In a veto message, Sanford indicated that the board had carry-forward funds that could be used for funding over the next fiscal year. Darrick Jackson (plaintiff) sued the governor, alleging that veto 52 violated the veto provisions of the South Carolina Constitution.
