SC governor, lawmakers want to close ethics loopholes for big-spending gas districts

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster and at least four lawmakers are calling for more scrutiny and fewer ethics loopholes for the state’s many special purpose districts in the wake of a Post and Courier report that painted a portrait of free-spending agencies with little oversight. The moves came less than 72 hours after the newspaper’s “Uncovered” investigation showed how misconduct and lavish spending flourishes because of exceptions in state ethics laws, weak enforcement and shrinking scrutiny as news deserts grow. The investigation, published in concert with 10 community newspaper partners, focused on how officials with the state’s little-known gas authorities gorged themselves on a buffet of perks.

The Post and Courier on a South Carolina House bill that would allow people with concealed weapons permits to carry handguns in view: Most S.C. legislators know the claims that having more armed citizens makes us all safer are at best wishful thinking, at worst dangerously wrong - as demonstrated yet again Feb. 11 when yet another report came out indicating just the opposite, with the highest per-capita gun deaths in states with the most permissive gun laws and the lowest death rates in the states with the least permissive laws.
