Harrell Still Won’t Release Campaign Expense Records
- Details
- By Rick Brundrett from "The Nerve"
From 2008 through 2012, S.C. House Speaker Bobby Harrell reimbursed himself more than $234,000 from his campaign account for legislative and other trips, campaign expenditure reports show.
The quarterly reports filed with the State Ethics Commission don't say whether Harrell, a licensed private pilot, flew his single-engine Cirrus SR22 to any of the events, though the records show that of the 40 travel-expense reimbursements to himself, nine were for at least $10,000 each and three were for more than $20,000 each, as The Nerve reported in October 2012.
Over the past year, however, Harrell’s campaign expenditure reports list no specific travel reimbursements to himself as he had done in previous years, The Nerve found Tuesday in a review of the expenditures. The Charleston Republican’s largest listed travel expenditure last year was $365 for a March trip to Myrtle Beach under the category of “legislative travel,” records show.
