Governor unveils spending clock in protest over budget
Governor Mark Sanford activates a computer clock outside his State House office to show how quickly new revenues would be spent. He argues the Senate and House budgets do not return enough of the expected billion dollars in new revenue to taxpayers. The clock runs at $33 per second, reaching $6.7 million by noon as it ticks through the budget debate. It aims to spark public discussion about fiscal priorities.
