At a joint press conference with Legume Air and Porkyard Resorts spoke Sen. Kevin Bryant (R-Anderson) \u201cMy constituents are ecstatic.  The phone has been ringing off the hook demanding tax increases to earmark these kinds of projects.  One constituent from Powdersville suggested we consider a Pork &amp; Bean Museum to compliment the Green Bean Museum.\u201d  Bryant later added: \u201cNext year, I\u2019ll be pursuing funding for a similar project in my district, \u2018The Duck Strut\u2019\u201d.  \u201cThis yearly festival will feature the ducks of Cater\u2019s Lake and hot air balloon festivities.  The project will be supplemented with local impact fees and an increase in grocery taxes.  Also, they appreciate the surprise effects of good-ole-boy back-room deals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThis incredible tourist attraction has caused us to put off all plans to focus on the expected demand for direct flights to Lake City.  We initially have 2 daily direct flights from JFK, LAX &amp; Seattle-Tacoma to Lake City,\u201d said Henri Mariana, Legume Air Expansion Vice President.<\/p>\n<p>Porkyard Resorts International representative, Butch Carlisle was just as optimistic.  \u201cOur partnership with Legume Air will be the highlight vacation package of 2008.  Our new Porkyard Resort will begin with 4 presidential suites, 25 executive suites, and 257 standard rooms.  Our next step is to request a line item in next year\u2019s budget for resort expansion.\u201d  Carlisle added:  We were overwhelmed the good people of South Carolina are progressive minded enough to fund the Green Bean Museum.  The taxpayers of South Carolina don\u2019t seem to mind at all.  This year, they are turning down any refunds of the expected nearly $1.5 billion.  They\u2019d rather see the money spent by their trusted General Assembly\u2019s shadow earmarks and slush funds on wonderful projects like the Green Bean Museum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David McIntosh of travel-swine.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>travel-swine.com news bulletinColumbia, SC \u2013 Legume Air, Inc., Porkyard Resorts International, and the State of South Carolina have announced a partnership for the Southeast\u2019s newest tourist attraction, the Green Bean Museum in Lake City.
