“We are not going to talk about ethics reform any more. We are going to talk about ending systemic corruption in this state,” Ashley Landess told attendees at the Greenville based RINO Hunt meeting last Friday night.
Landess was speaking after the Legislature failed to pass an ethics reform bill that critics said had nothing to do with ethics.
“It would have decriminalized the ethics code and forced citizens who want to participate in legislative hearings to register as lobbyists.”
The bill that passed both Houses of the Legislature but did not get out of the Conference Committee contained one important reform, according to the Policy Council Education Foundation newsletter.

Ravenel Threatening to Challenge Graham, Hutto for Senate Seat
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Unintended consequence of Petition Candidate Could Help Democrat
State Senator Brad Hutto won the Democrat primary for United States Senate with 76 percent of the vote. U. S. Senator Lindsey Graham won the Republican primary with only 56 percent of the vote, however his vote total doubled that of Hutto. The apparent crossover Democrat votes for Graham do not bode well for Hutto in the General Election.
Charleston real estate developer turned actor, Thomas Ravenel, is threatening to enter the race challenging Graham as an independent petition candidate. The former Republican statewide office holder who resigned due to drug charges has support in the Upstate, although his base of operations is in Charleston.
