COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A newspaper review of embattled South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford's calendar shows a decline in the number
of staff meetings and public outreach sessions between his first and second terms.
The State newspaper of Columbia reported Sunday that, in 2004, Sanford with an average of almost nine scheduled staff meetings a week as he sought to rally support for his vision of a smaller state government run by a more powerful governor.
By this year, the newspaper found Sanford was scheduling just four staff meetings weekly.
Aides to former S.C. governors say Sanford's calendar shows a governor who had too little to do. The scheduling allowed Sanford to disappear in June to meet an Argentine mistress, an affair that has some lawmakers calling for his removal from office.
