Republican Lt. Gov. Resigns In Ethics Scandal
« on: March 09, 2012, 07:12:12 PM »
South Carolina’s Republican Lt. Gov. Resigns In Ethics Scandal | South Carolina Lt. Gov. Ken Ard (R) resigned his office today and was indicted by a state grand jury. Just 14 months into his first term, Ard was charged with four counts of unlawful reimbursement of campaign contributions, two counts of falsely filing campaign reports, and one count of personal use of campaign funds. In July 2011, the state’s ethics committee fined Ard for using campaign funds to buy football tickets, women’s clothing, and a Playstation 3. Republican Glenn McConnell, who was serving as the state senate’s president pro tempore, automatically assumes Ard’s former post.

Hey catch em - book em.. regardless of political affiliation.  Does this mean if it happened in Michigan that Richardville would have been "promoted" to Lt. Gov?

I'm sure that thought has one or two posters rolling over in their sleep about now  ;D

But we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.

I'm pretty sure the FBI will take care of Richardville when the Detroit corruption investigation has been completed, no need to worry.
