hike on taxpayers dime? It's not surprising he refused the stimulus money. He's not in South Carolina enough to discern our state needs. I hear he's going to have some great competiton this next election though.
The fact that he took a vacation doesn't bother me in the least(on the taxpayers dime)
Pelosi uses ALOT of the taxpayers dimes..
I think that there is alot more to this story that we may never know about.
Actually...any vacation I take is on the taxpayers' dime...I work for the federal government. My annual leave is a benefit provided to me for the work I do.
The issue isn't that the SC governor took vacation time - he earns it as part of his job and can use it...the issue is that he didn't provide any way for anyone to get a hold of him in an emergency and didn't leave anyone in charge when he left.
