Forum to address corrupting role of money in state politics

Money in SC Politics: a roundtable discussion

Feb. 6, 7-9pm

USC Law School Auditorium, 1525 Senate St., Columbia

As South Carolina reels from the growing corruption scandal in the State House, the public is invited to a timely round-table discussion about how we can reduce the influence of money in state politics and policy-making. Legislators and good-government advocates will debate ways to make state government more representative, competitive, and responsive to South Carolina citizens.

At the table: Rep. Gilda Cobb Hunter (D-Orangeburg); Sen. Mike Fanning (D-Fairfield); Rep. Gary Clary (R-Oconee); Sen. William Timmons (R-Greenville); Lynn Teague, Vice President, League of Women Voters South Carolina; and John Crangle, Government Relations Director, SC Progressive Network.

The audience will be invited to ask questions and offer comment.

Reception to follow.
