SCACS meets with Governor

Appointed on Wednesday, Sept. 27, SCACS Legislative Chairmen Bill Hooker of Lance Snacks (pictured on the left of the Governor) and Kenneth Cosgrove of Piedmont Petroleum Corp. (pictured on the right of the Governor) along with SCACS Lobbyist Robert Adams and 8 others met and had lunch with Governor Mark Sanford on Friday, Sept. 29.

Cosgrove and Hooker were able to alert the Governor to what SCACS anticipates as the toughest legislative year for the Convenience Stores industry in seven years (since the demise of Video Poker) with two proposed gasoline tax increases and the reintroduction of a tobacco tax. The Governor agreed that this appears to be a tremendous burden for one industry particularly in the same year.
