The State reports:

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Dwight Drake would give companies that hire unemployed workers a tax credit, according to a job plan he released Thursday.

Two Drake supporters, Reps. Boyd Brown, D-Fairfield, and Bakari Sellers, D-Bamberg, said they will introduce the proposal in the House.

Drake said the proposal would also take some of the strain off the state's bankrupt jobless benefits fund. South Carolina's 12.6 percent unemployment rate is fourth-highest in the country.

"How many will do it? We don't know," Drake said. "If it hires only one, that's one person who has a job who didn't have a job."
