Hollings Demands Honest Debate After McMaster Apology
U S Senator Ernest Hollings questions Henry McMaster's apology and demands a clear retraction of his stated lie before agreeing to debates. McMaster offers a $500 honorarium and joint appearances, while both candidates discuss a September 29 debate plan that stalled over rhetoric and timing. By contrast Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina forecasts a $40 million year end loss and premium hikes with no layoffs planned.
