VINCENT SHEHEEN FOR GOVERNOR
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

IS SHEHEEN HALEY’S CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR?
“ Representative Haley’s hypocrisy continues…”
CAMDEN, SC—Today, Vincent Sheheen released the legislation he sponsored in 2009-2010 Legislative Session dealing with Government Reforms, On Record Voting and Cutting Government Spending.
Yesterday, Representative Haley stated, “Vincent Sheheen has resisted good government reforms for years. He balked at a chance to require Legislators to vote on-the-record, held up legislation to cap state government spending….”
“The Haley campaign clearly operates somewhere other than reality. Every day Representative Haley releases another piece of fiction that smacks of desperation and expects South Carolinians to ignore her blatant hypocrisy. Her ‘governmental reform’ plan is a carbon copy of plans Vincent Sheheen has proposed for years. Taking someone else’s ideas and claiming authorship is called plagiarism, but I guess Nikki Haley calls it politics,” campaign manager Trav Robertson stated.
“In fact,” Robertson concluded, “as this Senate aide’s tweet proves, Representative Haley doesn’t care about government reform, she only cares about getting elected:
[Nikki Haley called me last year angry that the Senate filed a roll call voting bill.] about 1 hour ago via TweetDeck [Nikki Haley told me that she didn’t want the Senate “stealing my issue.”] about 1 hour ago via TweetDeck [Let me repeat – Nikki Haley asked me to get the Senators to pull the companion bill from the Senate.] about 1 hour ago via TweetDeck
