Only one candidate has been completely open and honest about their sources of income. That is Gresham Barrett!

Gresham Barrett
During his years as a public servant, Gresham Barrett never received any fees or income from companies that had business before the state or federal government.

Gresham voluntarily released 2007, 2008 and 2009 personal income taxes. (Barrett for Governor, Press Release, 6/10/10)

As a State Legislator, Haley consulted for Wilbur Smith Associates for two years at the time the company was seeking lucrative state contracts. (WIS-TV, 6/19/10)
Haley repeatedly failed to disclose her Wilbur Smith income on her state ethics reports, despite claiming that she had made all her income public. (The State, 6/18/10)
Haley won’t say how much the company paid her and has failed to make her 2007 and 2008 tax records public, despite promises to do so. (WIS-TV’s “11 O’Clock News,” 6/19/10)
Haley has refused to say what she did for Wilbur Smith in 2007 and 2008. (CNN’s “Political Ticker” Blog, 6/18/10)

Haley Repeatedly Failed to Disclose Income from Company That Had Business Before the State; Barrett Campaign Calls on Haley to Release Tax Returns, Business Contracts

At the WIS debate last week, Representative Haley claimed “everything is out there” in regards to her financial disclosure forms and personal tax returns.
Not true!

An article in The State newspaper ..says that Haley, as a legislator in 2008-2009, she took money from Wilbur Smith, a private company that did business with state government, and repeatedly failed to disclose this income on her Statement of Economic Interest Form both in 2008 and 2009.

Haley has centered her campaign on beign open and transparent…BUT .,.. it appears she doesnt practice what she is preaching.

The Haley – Smith relationship presents a clear conflict of interest for Representative Haley and raises serious questions.

Gerhsma Barrett is calling on Representative Haley to release financial documents to provide transparency regarding her relationship with Wilbur Smith. Specifically, she needs to release her 2007 and 2008 tax returns in order to answer questions about the amount of income she received from Wilbur Smith while the company had business before the State Legislature.

The Barrett campaign is calling on Representative Haley to:

Release her 2007 and 2008 tax returns (Congressman Barrett has made his 2007, 2008, and 2009 tax returns available for viewing at his campaign office);
Immediately correct her Statement of Economic Interest to accurately reflect the income she earned from Wilbur Smith;
Immediately disclose her contract with Wilbur Smith stating what exactly she was paid for;
Disclose any other consulting work she did for businesses during her time as a State Legislator.

Please consider these revelations before voting..and choose the open,honest,candidate- Gresham Barrett. He is the proven leader that SC’s NEEDS.
thank you for hearing me out..

GOP Ballot Initiatives
QUESTION #1:
The healthcare reform bill recently signed into law by President Obama requires all American citizens to purchase health insurance or else to pay a fine to the federal government. The legislation also contains tax benefits and other inducements that apply only to certain states, benefits that were apparently designed to persuade those states’ Senators or Representatives to vote for President Obama’s healthcare reform Bill.
Therefore be it resolved: The South Carolina General Assembly should defend the freedom of all South Carolinians to make their own healthcare decicions by enacting legislation making it illegal to force the citizens of South Carolina to purchase health insurance or participate in a healthcare plan against their will, or to comply with any of the provisions or mandates of nationalized healthcare that do not apply equally to all states. Do you agree with the resolution above?
Yes
No

QUESTION #2:
Growth of state spending should not exceed the growth of the economy. Therefore, be it resolved: The South Carolina General Assembly should enact legislation to limit state spending growth in South Carolina to a growth rate not to exceed the lesser of the annual percentage growth in income of the State’s citizens, or the growth in population plus inflation. Do you agree with the resolution above?
Yes
No
