Gov. Sanford's recent refusal to request a federal loan to extend unemployment benefits made national headlines and received heavy criticism from the Employment Security Commission, many state politicians, and others.

Sanford had delayed his request for a federal loan until the ESC agreed to a request by the governor — to allow a third-party audit be conducted in order to highlight waste and inefficiency and to reform the agency. When Sanford finally filed for the federal loan at the last minute, the ESC had still not agreed to an audit.

Well, Sanford flushed any credibility he may have once had right down the toilet.
Nobody will ever again take his threats seriously.
What a shame. I like the guy, but... I dunno...

Sanford Hops on Global Warming’s Bandwagon
Gov. Mark Sanford

Mark Sanford, one of the most conservative governors in America, has apparently jumped on the global warming alarmist bandwagon. Just the other week, he accepted and now appears to be embracing some of his Climate, Energy and Commerce Advisory Committee’s (CECAC) initiatives that could cost this state $1.6 billion by the year 2020.
