Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court held that the Dorchester County referendum combining library and recreational bond proposals into a single question was unlawful because each distinct bond proposition must be presented as a separate question, and therefore reversed the circuit court’s judgment on the pleadings and remanded for entry of judgment consistent with this holding.
