Ethics Probe Re-opened Against Haley

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) — A witness list is being compiled to testify at a public hearing on whether or not Gov. Nikki Haley broke the law and lobbied while she was a state representative. The House Ethics Committee voted unanimously Wednesday to re-open a case against the governor it had previously dismissed. Allegations include the governor illegally lobbied for two previous employers while she was a representative for Lexington County. The governor is cooperating with the investigation, but she is firing back. In a state to ABC Columbia News, she condemned what she calls a ‘good old boy system’ in Columbia that is preventing her from bringing new business and creating jobs in the state. A public hearing on the matter is scheduled to take place within 30 days.
