COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - The standoff between South Carolina's governor and state officials continues, with only two days before the state must stop printing unemployment checks for 77,000 people.
Sanford has some things he wants first before he signs the request, such as an independent, third-party audit to review operations and performance of the commission.
"I cannot provide information that I don't collect and this is what's being asked," Ted Halley, executive director of the commission, said.
In a memo to Sanford, Halley agrees to some but not all the governor's requests.
Halley agrees to a performance audit to be done by the Department of Labor, but not an independent, third-party as the governor requests.
After receiving the counter-offer, the governor's office released a statement, saying:
"We are disappointed by the updated agreement. It shows that the Employment Security Commission is afraid of the scrutiny an outside audit would provide. We are insisting on an independent audit before we sign anything."
"The demands that he's making of this agency, I've agreed to meet him with those," Halley said. Excerpts - the rest here:

"Given him a counter-offer?" Very generous of you to "agree" with your boss on "some issues" jackass, now get with the program and do like he says. Perhaps you've forgotten who the governor is. What the hell is wrong with this guy? Is he ASKING to get fired? If it were me, his ass would be in the unemployment line.
Seriously, why do liberals ALWAYS fight government accountability?
