Upstate South Carolina

Is Government transparency really in the future for South Carolina? It looks like they may really be taking it seriously this time. This bill passed the House on a 115 - 0 vote. I have always said “Hiding something means you don’t want others to see what you are doing and there is no room for that in the Government.” Governor Mark Sanford has joined on the band wagon, which helped get this bill passed. Nikki Haley helped put this in motion and said,

“The State of South Carolina will now be able to see a full record of how each House member voted or virtually every significant piece of legislation that is debated. The Senate passed a rule that will increase the level of recorded votes in their chamber as well.”

There will be more bills like this one come through to allow even better transparency in the future. Way to go to Governor Mark Sanford and Nikki Haley for making a difference in this great state.
