Charleston, South Carolina (CNN) The engineering executive who hired Nikki Haley for consulting work while she served in the South Carolina legislature said Friday that Haley's political and business connections helped his company get ahead.
Haley, now the frontrunner for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, was paid $2,000 in 2008 by the engineering firm, Wilbur Smith Associates. The income was disclosed Thursday after Haley made her 2009 tax records available to reporters. Her 2008 paycheck did not clear until 2009, she said.
Her opponent in the June 22 runoff election, Rep. Gresham Barrett, had previously revealed his income and tax records in keeping with federal disclosure laws.

Generally, it’s not worth much if its from CNN.
Then it’s ok?
“The State Ethics Commission, however, said Haley did not violate any laws by failing to disclose the income.”
Wow! A politician did not violate any laws. This is hugh! I’m series! :-)
There is no allegation of any illegality, and what would be the reason to hire her as a consultant if not for her contacts in business and government?
Just another smear attempt by the DBM.
FWIW
Desperation time in liberal land.
WOW!
and?
Nikki, stay away from Mitt. He's a RINO and NOT a conservative.
