| Subject: Anarcho-Capitalist NEWS: Libertarian Gubernatorial Nominee Blasts Bobby Harrell Ruling Thu May 15, 2014 4:21 am | |
| South Carolina’s Libertarian gubernatorial nominee weighed in on the scandal enveloping powerful S.C. Speaker of the House Bobby Harrell this week – saying a controversial court ruling in the case “allows business as usual to continue in South Carolina.”
Steve French – a Charleston, S.C. businessman who has embraced an aggressive government reform agenda – said Harrell’s case highlights the need for real ethics reform in the Palmetto State.
Specifically, French wants to eliminate legislative exemptions to the state’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) laws – the kind S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley famously availed herself of back in 2010. He is also pushing for lawmakers to disclose all sources of income – another issue Haley has struggled with in the past.
French also wants to end the legislature’s corrupt “self-policing” mechanism for current and former members – which enabled Haley to evade accountability on her public corruption scandal in 2012 (and which is currently being used in Harrell’s case).
