S.C. Gov. Haley urges Obama to deepen Atlantic ports

February 28, 2012 - Gov. Nikki Haley implored President Barack Obama on Monday to find more money to deepen the Charleston port and other Atlantic harbors so they can accommodate giant cargo ships after the widening of the Panama Canal is completed in 2014.
Haley, at a White House meeting with Obama and other governors, said she also urged the president to kick the Army Corps of Engineers into higher gear on deepening the Atlantic ports.

“I personally talked to him about the ports that we’re all facing – and the fact that why does it take the Corps of Engineers 10 years to do a deepening project,” Haley told reporters after the White House session.

“We need it done within less than a year,” she said. “Other countries are doing it, why aren’t we doing that?”

Republican Haley said she did not thank Democrat Obama for including $3.5 million in his budget proposal to expand the Corps of Engineers study of deepening Charleston’s port.

While at the same time going on a rant about the Feds and that states failed policy ideologies that would actually cost the state more to implement along with being backwards!

“In South Carolina, we can’t even pass our own bills without him getting in the way,” she said. “We pass illegal immigration reform, he stops it. We pass voter ID, he stops it. We get Boeing, he stops it.
“I mean, I’d just like to be a governor and be able to take care of my state. The president’s trying to handle the entire country, and he’s failing.” read more>>>

How anyone can still call themselves, (R), tepubs and not only be proud of that but actually vote for any running under that label is beyond me.
