In 1929, South Carolina state Senators Richard Jeffries and Edgar Brown (a.k.a. “The Barnwell Ring” leaders) pushed through a controversial statewide highway bill that lead to the Senate Pro Tempore controlling all statewide highway construction.
This continuing control by the state’s senior senator is a lingering controversy today and has resulted in virulent lawsuits and the National Guard being called out to intervene between the Governor and the Senate, but the state Supreme Court has sustained this arrangement under the 1895 South Carolina Constitution
