Columbia, SC – State Representative Gilda Cobb-Hunter (D-Orangeburg) filed a letter with the House Ethics Committee on Wednesday asking for an advisory opinion on whether or not it is appropriate for a member of the South Carolina General Assembly to access the state plane to transport subcommittee witnesses, and if it is appropriate to receive compensation to provide testimony to a legislative subcommittee without registering as a lobbyist. The questions were prompted by the news of Representative Bill Chumley authorizing the use of the state plane to transport a well-known Tea Party radio host from Washington, DC for testimony in favor of the Obamacare Nullification bill.

I certainly wish that SCDOR would have flown in experts and taken their advice. Could have saved the state millions of dollars. The same is true for Rep. Chumley, 6k in an effort to save SC taxpayers MILLIONS. I think we have FAR bigger issues in waste and corruption than to worry about than a fiscal conservative who is doing his job and cleared it with the Ethics Commission prior to making any arrangements.
