Many ‘talking to (the governor) behind the scenes’

Updated 5:25 p.m.
Sen. Tom Davis, Gov. Mark Sanford’s former chief of staff, said Wednesday he has spoken with both the governor and First Lady Jenny Sanford about the governor’s future. Davis, in a statement, said only after those conversations and conversations with Attorney General Henry McMaster and SLED Chief Reggie Lloyd will he take a public position on Sanford’s future.

“Obviously I have tremendous concern for my friends, Mark and Jenny Sanford and their family, but I also have a job to do as an elected official,” said Davis, a Beaufort Republican. “Before any important decision I make comes due diligence, and I owe it to my constituents to perform that due diligence before taking a public position on an issue as important as whether to call for the resignation of a duly-elected statewide official.” Source Article
