2020 Governor's State of the State speeches: on Homeland Security


Henry McMaster: Don't tax uniformed retirees: veterans, cops, firefighters

I ask that we honor the service and sacrifice of our men and women who served in uniform--veterans, first responders, law enforcement officers, firefighters and peace officers--by no longer taxing their retirement pay. This commitment to our veterans will help us in protecting and expanding missions at our state's military bases. As for law enforcement, firefighters and first responders, it will help keep them on the job, aid recruitment and show our appreciation for their service.

Henry McMaster: Proposes a significant investment in National Guard armories

South Carolina is proudly a military state. During times of national or state emergency, we call on the South Carolina National Guard to do many things. However, the conditions of many of their armories are unsafe, unusable or inadequate for training and drill. I have proposed a significant reinvestment to improve the condition of National Guard armories in our state. I ask that you join me in this commitment.

Peter Ricketts: Retain our veterans with military retirement tax relief

We need to do more to retain our veterans. Veterans continue to contribute to our communities and our economy after they complete their service. Nebraska is the only state in our region whose veterans' population is declining in part because we tax retirement benefits. This week, you voted 46-0 for military retirement tax relief. I want to thank you for advancing LB 153, and encourage you to deliver this tax relief that will help us retain our veterans.
