Yeehaw! House ethics panel votes to reopen probe of SC governor Nikki Haley
The House Ethics Committee voted unanimously Wednesday to reopen its inquiry into whether Gov. Nikki Haley illegally lobbied while a S.C. House member, exploiting her public office for her personal gain and to benefit her employers.
The committee will hear testimony from witnesses it selects who will be required to give testify under oath, said state Rep. Roland Smith, R-Aiken, chairman of the House Ethics Committee.
No date was set for that testimony. However, a list of possible witnesses could come as early as next week, Smith added.

Those lingering questions include whether Haley was working for Lexington Medical Center, which was seeking legislative approval to expand, or its foundation, and whether Haley’s solicitation of donations for the foundation from lobbyists and businesses with business before the state was lobbying.
State Rep. Laurie Funderburk, D-Kershaw, the committee’s only Democrat, questioned Wednesday how independent the hospital foundation is, since it is overseen by the hospital’s board.

There has to be something to this because Queen Nikki has used every nasty trick she knows to shut it down. She has threatened legislators with exposing their dirty laundry. If she does, there will be mutually assured destruction. Suits me if the lot of them blow up.
She made the mistake of pissing the old boys off, and they will get her back. This may be the start of it.
I would normally be pissed that they aren't passing bills. That suits me because the less they do, the less harm they cause.
The items high on their agendas are voter ID laws, private school money funneling(school choice), immigration fascism, some more restrictive abortion reforms, and gawd knows what else.
If the Dems get off their asses, they actually might make some headway in the elections. They had a good candidate for governor, but the weird internal state politics(redundant) helped elect her. I hope he runs again.
Of course Alvin Greene is still out there. He tweeted these 2 insightful messages:
Alvin Greene ?@greeneforsenate
nope
22 May Alvin Greene ?@greeneforsenate
dump truck
I think he is running against DeMinted or maybe 'dump truck.'
Inscrutable he is.
So our state motto still says it all: "SNAFU et FUBAR."
= new reply since forum marked as read
However, who knows where he stands in all this? He can be as useless as your right one at times. (Sorry.I don't have any)
