		<description>He should explain why the state of South Carolina no longer accepts valid not expired not retracted or rescended administrative decisions.

Once an administrative decision or court award is issued , it used to be VALID AND GOOD&gt; 

SANFORD CHANGED THE RULES WITHOUT CHANGING THE LAW.

The State of SOUTH CAROLINA NO LONGER HONORS VALID ADMINISTRATIVE DECISIONS.

BE WARNED. HE&#039;S STILL MAKING RULES UP &lt;

no wonder, he&#039;s a Moonie</description>

		<description>MARK SANFORD IS MENTAL

Meanwhile, the governor is contesting questions about other travel.

Last month, the Associated Press reported Sanford had flown in pricey, taxpayer-funded seats on commercial airlines for state trips. State Sen. David Thomas, a Republican congressional candidate who has been investigating those flights, said the more expensive flights on two state Commerce Department trips broke a law requiring lowest-cost travel and cost taxpayers $13,700 more than the economy class flights available.

In a letter to Thomas, the governor’s attorney, Swati Patel, argued that state code requiring employees travel “by the most economical methods” and buy coach seats on commercial airlines is “likely invalid.”

She repeated Sanford’s arguments that the state Department of Commerce — an agency he controls — booked the overseas tickets. The agency thinks it has discretion to book more costly seats for overseas economic development trips so the governor is rested when he steps off the plane and into meetings, Patel wrote.

“Regardless, we have serious doubts whether the obscure travel regulation on which your allegations rely remains valid,” she wrote, saying the decades-old rule likely doesn’t apply today.

She questioned whether the State Budget and Control Board can legally set travel rules, though state budget law specifically gives the five-member board — of which the governor is chairman — that authority.

“We are not aware of any reason why the travel regulations and policies adopted over the years by the Budget and Control Board would no longer be valid,” agency spokesman Mike Sponhour said Wednesday.

Thomas likened the governor’s argument to a speeding driver who is finally ticketed.

“Suppose you’ve been driving 70 mph down a 45 mph stretch and getting away with it for years. You can’t say the city of Columbia waived the law because it failed to enforce it before. That’s how ludicrous the argument is,” he said.

		<description>&quot;Sanford says he actually saved taxpayer money in regards to plane usage, by selling off a state-owned corporate jet, and flying statewide on a single engine plane.&quot;

Mark Sanford flew illegally in those small SCDNR planes.

Apparently, no one knows where he went or what he was doing.

But, byGod Sanfraud saved money, right?

ByGod he saved us money.

The freak saved money, right?

No. The freak has cost us big time.

The freak needs to leave.</description>

		<description>K Trane,  you have lost your noodles or has Sanford dirt that he would release that makes you afraid?  Wakeup and see the sunset without Sanford and all his lies.  He does damage to state for every day that he is in office.  You are probably part of the Good Ole Boys that would lose power if he leaves..</description>

		<description>Moron post, willie.  Regardless of whether he stays or goes, S.C. will spend over eleventy brazillion dollars addressing the frauds that mark, you and the rest of the republicrat establishment have dumped on S.C. 

The only reason the republicrat leadership wants him to stay is to keep the lite-gubner from getting the job. You guys know what you did to S.C. 

None of you ever thought for a moment that andre (The Little Giant) would ever get a shot at the big job. Now he has a shot.  

And you republicrats all sit around saying, &quot;never more, never more.&quot;</description>
