The Senator in charge of a subcommittee investigating Governor Sanford’s travel expenses says today was one of the most bizarre days of his life, when the Governor held a press conference across the street from his Greenville office on Wade Hampton Boulevard.
Senator David Thomas was taken aback by Sanford’s move. “The Governor actually came to Greenville, help up the document that I had asked him to produce, the document I knew would help him, using that to attack the actions of my committee. This is the strangest behavior I’ve seen from a governor and I’ve been in office for 20 years.”
Sanford defended himself against Thomas’s investigation, by siting the document that Thomas had requested and had already been sent, a report released by the governor’s office that shows 230 business class trips made in the past 25 years by former governors and South Carolina officials.
