Mark Sanford should he stay or should he go?
Taking a look at those 600 pages of state travel records South Carolina released, and finds the suddenly sanctimonious Gov. not always walking his philosophical talk — or in this case, flying high when he promised he’d fly low.
"The records detail more than 8,000 worth of state-funded travel for Sanford and show that he routinely billed taxpayers for high-end airline seats, racking up more than ,000 on business- and first-class tickets. He often stayed in pricey hotels that far exceeded the rates he imposed on other state employees.
On one overseas trip, the state appears to have spent more than ,000 for the GOP governor’s business-class tickets for a September 2007 trade mission to China, while his aides flew in economy class for airfares as low as ,900."

I am right here.
Hope that clears things up for you.

It’s not so much the high end expenses that bother me. Most politicians do this but I don’t agree with it. What is disturbing, however, is the tickets to Argentina. He needs to go.
