Haley report card tour wraps up with Florence stop

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Gov. Nikki Haley is scheduled to end her series of town hall meetings with a stop in Florence.

Haley is scheduled to speak at Francis Marion University Tuesday night.

Haley started the tour two weeks to unveil grades she issued for legislators on how they’ve handled her legislative priorities. She uses the stops to promote the agenda she’ll be trying to get through the South Carolina Legislature next year.

The Republican governor announced plans for the report cards in March. Some legislators called it a political ploy.

Less than half the Senate and more than half of the House made the honor roll.

Haley’s agenda includes tax cuts for businesses and wrapping up work on legislation that creates a new Cabinet-level Department of Administration.
