Senator Turnipseed Seeks Reimbursement for Washington Flight
State taxes funded a Washington fundraiser flight costing 1904.85 dollars. Turnipseed works to raise money to repay the cost and says each passenger should cover their share. Passengers included lobbyist Robert S. Reese Jr. and his wife at Gov. Riley’s office request. Reese represents the American Trucking Association. Turnipseed learned of Reese’s presence only after boarding.

DSS Official Knew Of Abuse Allegations
Sumter DSS Commissioner Virgil Conrad acknowledged awareness of abuse claims at Millwood Nursery, but said agency lacked clear authority to act on a case. A Sumter County grand jury faulted state and county DSS for delaying action and urged license revocation. The jury cited at least one substantiated report and noted the need for clear responsibility under the 1977 Child Protection Act.
