COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - The first steps to the possible
impeachment of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford are expected next
week and could be headed to a special committee.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Harrison of Columbia said
Thursday it is up to House Speaker Bobby Harrell to decide how to
handle a resolution already drafted to remove Sanford because he
abandoned the state for five days in June to rendezvous with his
Argentine lover.
Sanford spokesman Ben Fox says the governor won't comment on
what the House may do with impeachment next week.
Some say Sanford may avoid impeachment because the state landed
a Boeing expansion. Others say Sanford's fate rests on a State
Ethics Commission review of his use of state planes for personal
and political purposes.
