COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is
heading back to work after a European vacation with his family as
he tries to patch things up after admitting an affair with an
Argentine woman. He spoke to reporters when his flight landed in Charlotte, NC on Wednesday night. "I'm going to work very hard at my job, because it's a tremendous responsibility. The people of South Carolina have granted me. And I'm going to work very hard to begin to restore that trust we talk about before", said Sanford.
Sanford has no public events scheduled Thursday but will have a
handful of meetings.
New spokesman Ben Fox says Sanford will go over efforts to
enforce a new state law intended to crack down on businesses hiring
illegal immigrants.
Fox says Sanford also plans to get an update on how the state is
monitoring federal stimulus cash spending. Sanford became a GOP
darling this spring for his outspoken opposition to taking federal
money to help schools avoid teacher layoffs.
Sanford also has a meeting to hear issues involving development
around the state's military bases.
