COLUMBIA — Gov. Mark Sanford’s former
spokesman has returned to the Governor’s office as press
secretary, saying he was inspired by the Governor’s inaugural
speech to return from the private sector.
Will Folks, 28, had left the Sanford camp following the
November election. He said he had already incorporated his
consulting business, View Politik, and was in business for a
week before the Governor’s speech and its description of
"servant leadership" changed his mind.
He said he wasn’t drawn by an offer of a big salary from
the frugal Governor.
"We’re talking about Mark Sanford here — he offered me free
paper clips," he said.
Mr. Folks said he and his dog named Issues have already set
up house in the state
capitol.
