-RetweetSanford Faces 37 Ethics Charges

Politics | Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 9:47:26 am PST

Philandering creationist governor Mark Sanford has now been charged with 37 counts of violating South Carolina ethics laws.

The complaint follows a three-month investigation into Sanford’s use of taxpayer money.

Sanford is accused of using tax money to buy business-class airfare on domestic and international flights, flying on a state-owned aircraft to political gatherings or events “which involved no official business,” and spending campaign funds for personal use such as buying a ticket to attend President Obama’s inauguration in January.

South Carolina law requires state officials to buy the lowest fares available for flights, and bars the use of state aircraft for personal use.

Sanford’s office did not respond to requests for comment about the charges.
