South Carolina Dems in Financial Trouble Over Fees
South Carolina Democratic Chairman Donald Fowler says the party is in bad shape financially due to a federal court ruling capping filing fees at two percent of salary. The suit, by Greenville attorney John Bolt Culbertson, cost the party an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 dollars and pressures debt heading into the election cycle. Fowler spoke in Washington at the DNC meeting on Shriver’s VP nomination and noted uncertainty over votes by SC leaders.
