(Columbia-AP) May 11, 2004 -- Governors
wouldn't be able to get rid of state boards and
appoint their own nominees under a House bill
that cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee on
Tuesday.
The Senate previously passed similar
legislation, but the bill considered Tuesday now
goes farther. It requires a review board to
screen Santee Cooper board members for a range
of qualifications similar to new rules governing
who serves on the state Public Service
Commission.
Those standards require a minimum of a
four-year college degree and experience in a
field related to work on the board. Governor
Mark Sanford's office says the governor opposes
the effort to take authority away.
