Taxpayers on the Hook Again: Chris Wooten Voted to Hide Millions in Corporate Welfare to Scout Motors
South Carolina families are struggling with high costs, yet “Republican” lawmakers - including incumbent Chris Wooten - are trying to sneak a massive bailout for Scout Motors (a subsidiary of über-woke Volkswagen) into the state budget.
This isn’t just another handout. After already giving Scout $1.3 billion in taxpayer incentives just a few years ago, they’re now trying to quietly cover $117+ million in cost overruns through sneaky provisions in SCDNR, SCDOT, and Commerce budgets.
Production delays, a cratering EV market, headquarters moved to North Carolina… and still, more of YOUR money?
Wooten voted in favor of this corporate welfare.
Now, with the primary days away, they’re postponing and laying low to avoid accountability. Classic Columbia Swamp tactics.
In Columbia, I will fight for fiscal responsibility - not more crony capitalism, not more secret bailouts, but real transparency for hardworking South Carolina taxpayers.
We need representatives who put Lexington families first, not special interests.
Primary is THIS TUESDAY, June 9. Make your voice heard and vote for real change!
