Those are two interesting press releases you linked! Thanks.
But they date back to April. The story ends with the SC legislature saying they’ll reconsider their vote on their pay raises.
So what’s happened in the interim? Too often, politicians take bad stuff off the table until emotions cool, then slip it through when attentions have turned elsewhere.
Note to Jindal: A veto means never having to say you’re sorry.

Mark will veto and veto and watch as each veto is overridden (by his own party!) and he will keep on fighting because he’s the real deal.
Here’s a great story when he was in congress:
Mr. Sanford has been rankling fellow Republicans long before arriving in Columbia. As a congressman from 1995-2001, Republican leadership knew that he was beyond their control. In 1999, he and then-Rep. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican, used parliamentary procedures to save taxpayers a fortune. The farm spending bill came to the floor with an “open rule” — meaning any germane amendments could be offered. Messrs. Sanford and Coburn together drafted 121 fat-trimming amendments, and after trudging through just a few dozen of them, House leadership pulled the entire bill. It was only reintroduced after $1 billion had been carved out.
