What is she going to lie about this time? This lady cannot be trusted. Everything that she is going to say, you can take it with a grain of salt. She may or may not talk about the president and say that he is causing all of america's problem(republicans talking point). Will she talk about her vacation in Europe? Let's call it what it was. We have another Mark Sanford, but instead of wearing boxes, this one wears bloomers.

I wonder how much Gov. Haley's trips around the state will cost taxpayers? I'm sure she'll have quite the entourage.

What do you folks expect. When you elect a self serving BRICK because it has an R after it's name, you will end up with a self serving brick.
Queen Nikki is great at the one liner sound bites but not so good at hiding her total lack of ABILITY. She is just following the current Republonut Bible to work the system for your own benefit. Nothing you can do will change that, we are stuck with this waste of skin for the next three years. I just hope that the voters of South Carolina wake up and smell the coffee. The best message you can send to the Republican Party for the butt hole candidates they continue to nominate is to send them all back home.
As Einstein said "continuing to take the same actions and expect a different result is idiotic" Continuing to elect Republicans in this state and expect that they will actually work to improve our state is INSANE. The only ones that they are working for is THEMSELVES AND THE SPECIAL INTERESTS.
We need a Constitutional Convention to change the state constitution so that we can RECALL the self serving boobs we now have as our representatives.

Just a reminder to keep the conversation civil and not about someone's choice of undergarments (Cornell) or name calling (Herb).
RB, I'm not certain on costs but often town halls are the only way elected officials can meet with constituents and for the constituents to meet with them. Part of their job, which they are paid for, is to talk to the people and do their will. From the president down to the state representatives, travel is part of the job. I will see what I can find out about costs though.

As a previous member of Ehrhardt Town Council, in Bamberg County (NOT SC Governor Nimraddha's home town), our responsibilities included improvements in the town, upgrades, etc., and, any other town business, which required council member input. Any resident of the Town could attend the monthly meetings (with the exception of 'executive sessions' (a rarity) and, ask a question of Council, or the Mayor, in an open meeting. If a vote, was required, the "Question" was presented, and, Council members cast their verbal votes, in open session. The Town of Ehrhardt's local school children were moved to the Bamberg Schools, by Bamberg County Council. Later, I read an article in the Advertizer Herald, that, the Administrator of the Bamberg County Schools, was attempting to borrow funds on the Ehrhardt property, from which, she had moved the children & closed the Ehrhardt School. I looked up the Deed at the Bamberg County Courthouse, relative, to the Ehrhardt School Property & the Ehrhardt Auditorium. The Original Deed prepared by the DONORS OF THE PROPERTY 'read that', the entire property, including all abandoned buildings, ie; gymnasium, baseball field, any remaining school buiildings,etc. were deeded to the TOWN OF EHRHARDT!!!! Presently,all of the Ehrhardt School Children are provided bus transportation to Bamberg, (and from) the NOW Bamberg/Ehrhardt Schools, on a daily basis.

Eric, I don't have the resources or time do that. I can only refute the garbage that is printed on a daily basis by left wing radicals.
