Ad targets Harrell for Palmetto Bowl funding
A national group Americans for Tax Reform launches a television ad targeting House Ways and Means Chairman Bobby Harrell over Palmetto Bowl funding in Charleston. Local Republicans condemn the hit as unfair while ATR defends taxpayer concerns about pork barrel spending. The budget includes 380,000 yearly for 15 years if revenues meet 2 million. The ad references consultants tied to Gov. Sanford’s circle.
