South Carolina Treasurer Thomas Ravenel is facing charges of conspiracy to possess with the intent distribute cocaine. I have to say that I was absolutely amazed by the charges when I read them. Governor Mark Sanford has suspended Ravenel from his post.
What happens next? Well, according to the S.C. Code of Laws here’s what happens next:
SECTION 1-1-120. Vacancies in executive department.
In case any vacancy shall occur in the office of Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Comptroller General, Attorney General or Adjutant General, such vacancy shall be filled by election by the General Assembly, a majority of the votes cast being necessary to a choice. If such vacancy occur during the recess of the General Assembly, the Governor shall fill the vacancy by appointment until an election by the General Assembly at the session next ensuing such vacancy.
Stay tuned to see what happens next. To view the federal jury indictment against Ravenel, visit:
I would think that the firefighter story is much bigger news in South Carolina today, and should be the lead story all across America.

Happy June.
