With the end of the 2016 session, Gov. Nikki Haley is forced to push harder for key legislation
COLUMBIA — More than a week ago, Gov. Nikki Haley left her office and marched up to the state Senate to berate Lt. Gov. Henry McMaster over a ruling he was about to make on the ethics reform bill.
It was a rare appearance in chambers’ library by the governor, who usually leaves the second floor of the Statehouse to lawmakers. But by all accounts, she was mad.
The question is: Why?
Few of the senators pushing for the proposal disagreed with McMaster’s ruling. Behind closed doors, none could explain why Haley confronted McMaster or would later vilify him on social media as having killed a portion of the ethics reform bill.
McMaster, after all, has long been Haley’s ally.
