South Caroline Veto Overridden To Form Sportsmen's Caucus





A veto by Gov. Mark Sanford was easily overridden by both houses of the South Carolina General Assembly, thus passing a law to create a sportsmen’s legislative caucus. The House voted 105-3 and the Senate 30-6. “With the formation of the South Carolina Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucus, hunters and anglers should know that they have identified allies in the state capitol united in advancing a pro-sportsmen’s agenda as well as serving as the first line of defense in protecting the state’s outdoor traditions,” said Jeff Crane, president of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation. South Carolina becomes the 29th state to establish a sportsmen’s caucus. Gov. Sanford had vetoed the bill, which allows legislators to set up special-interest caucuses, because he believed it would open the door to public corruption.
