SC Dems Chair: Sanford is Lucky to Have Unlimited Paid Time Off from the Job

Carol Fowler, Chair of the South Carolina Democratic Party, released the following statement in response to news that Governor Mark Sanford will be taking another two weeks of vacation to visit Europe with his family.

"Mark Sanford gets still another vacation--two weeks in Europe with his family, leaving behind a state that is desperate for leadership to solve a host of problems.

"He's lucky. Most South Carolinians don't have unlimited paid time off. They can't just leave their jobs for days at a time whenever they want to, no matter what urgent family issues they're struggling to manage," Fowler said. "Of course, most South Carolinians are also expected to actually accomplish something when they are on the job."
