COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - Gov. Mark Sanford says he will veto $348 million worth of stimulus money in the state budget.
Sanford called the budget put forth by state lawmakers "fundamentally flawed" and said that many of them weren't given enough time to even look at the state budget to properly vote on it.
"They were not really even given time to look at this budget. There was a motion for a 24-hour look and that was denied, so it's basically just a handful of folks worked out the details on this budget over the weekend," said Sanford.
Sanford has called upon lawmakers to "start over" on this budget.
"What they really boil down to is this: to ask the legislative branch to go back to the drawing board," said Sanford.
. . . . .
The Democratic National Committee quickly fired back to Sanford's vetoes, saying that he is "siding with the Rush-Limbaugh-led 'Party of No' wing of the national GOP."

Why are the Demonrats so scared of Sanford?
Because he’s not scared of them.
Good for Sanford!
It’s disgusting to hear the Dems claim Sanford is trying to take money away from education......GO SANFORD!!!
“They were not really even given time to look at this budget.”
Why would anyone need to see a budget?
There are two SC Senators mentioned in the article. Unfortunately, WIS-TV declined to list their political affiliation.
Phil Leventis is a RAT from Sumpter who is the RAT candidate for lieutenant governor.
Darrell Jackson, from Columbia, has been a RAT in the Senate since 1992. Please do not confuse him with the other Darrell Jackson, a wide receiver for the Denver Broncos :)
He might want to invest in some white strips....yick.
0 is buying a lot of states for cheap.
The Dems look weak and corrupt. Political judo at its best.
