So this guy is personally hurt by his own party’s legislation and he wants people go to their Rep and raise hell…when he IS a Rep who could talk to other legislators personally?

Must be really disliked by his colleagues.

He is just one legislator making a stand for change —why would he not call attention to this issue? Also, he is relatively new to the House and this law was enacted in 2017. Not sure how this makes him “disliked by his colleagues”

lol

It’s an “issue” only because he was personally affected. Calling people to harass their Reps to help hisself. Wouldn’t it be easier to work with your fellow Reps? Make some deals, etc. This is just typical SC silliness.

And people want legal weed in SC? Can you imagine how screwed up that would be after SC republicans got ahold of it?

So what’s wrong with doing both? Restaurant owners should call their representatives about this issue AND he should work with his fellow legislators for change. What would you do if it affected your business?

The Plaintiff’s bar in this state, which has always had powerful members in the Legislature, has always played machiavellian games with tort law fault apportionment. Every time a new law has been passed to attempt to make it firm and mandatory, they find ways to tinker with the law to make loopholes that can still result in deep pocketed defendants with minimal fault still getting saddled with the lion’s share of the verdict.

Absolutely agree! We elect trial lawyers to pass laws and this is the result
