Sanford\'s Lockheed vote

September 26, 2007

Columbia SC-South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Carol Fowler released the following statement on Governor Sanford's Budget and Control Board vote against saving 1200 Lockheed Martin jobs in Greenville:
"Once again, Governor Sanford baffles South Carolinians with his idea of leadership. This time, he voted AGAINST economic development that he claims to support. When the governor talks about economic development he always says South Carolina needs to get soil conditions right. But what we really need right now is rain. Governor Sanford needs to leave soil conditions to the Clemson Extension Service and allow the Department of Commerce to make South Carolina competitive."
