SCAT mailed out this letter today:

Dear South Carolina Association of Taxpayer Members,                                                                    June 9^th, 2015

First, I want to say thank you for your continued support of the South Carolina Association of Taxpayers (SCAT).  As you know, we are an independent, non-partisan, privately funded research group whose purpose is to encourage South Carolina government to operate more efficiently.  We strive to provide you with up to date information regarding issues that affecting the taxpayers, through mailings, emails and social media. 

The purpose of this letter is to gauge the interest of current members in supporting the establishment of a Florence chapter of the South Carolina Association of Taxpayers.  Establishing a Florence Taxpayers chapter is crucial to increasing SCAT’s representation throughout the state.  As our size increases, so too does the voice we have.  It would also give concerned taxpayers a voice on the local level and it strengthen our mission for more efficient spending on both the local and state government levels as a whole.  If you or someone you know is interested in helping to create this group please do not hesitate to contact us immediately. 

Each and every member can play an important role in the creation of this new group.  If you agree that we need better and more efficient government, please email or call Chip Fallaw at scat1982.org@gmail.com or (803)-748-9198.  As we are looking to establish a group immediately, it is crucial that you reply as soon as possible!  Please, detach and fill out the form below to indicate your interest.   

No one has a better interest in protecting South Carolina’s taxpayers than local residents.

While the letter mailed out went only to the members residing in Florence county and the surrounding cities, we are happy to accept any volunteers who would be interested in helping us to establish a Florence chapter.  We hope to have a date for the first meeting within the next two weeks, and then will be searching for members residing within Florence to help lead the first meeting!  If you are interested, please reach out to us at scat1982.org@gmail.com or (803)-748-9198!
