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.
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.
