Finding Common Ground
At a time when political division and partisanship are dominating the headlines, nearly one hundred South Carolinians… from different backgrounds, political beliefs, life experiences, and regions of the state… met in Columbia this month to find common ground on practical ways to strengthen South Carolina. Delegates to the inaugural South Carolina Forum Civic Assembly took a deep look at workforce challenges facing our state and developed policy recommendations for the General Assembly to address affordability, career opportunities, competitive wages, employer accountability, and the rising cost of child and elder care.
On this Connect to the Capitol Extra, Trav Robertson joins Dave Wilson, as co-chairs of The South Carolina Forum, to talk about that civic assembly, what citizens accomplished when they put problem-solving ahead of politics, and the next phase of The South Carolina Forum’s mission: helping turn those citizen-developed policy recommendations from the civic assembly into meaningful legislative action for the General Assembly.
