Good afternoon.
I'm Rob Cottingham, news editor and reporter for the Lexington County Chronicle. 
I was curious about a few things and was hoping to get a response from the governor. 

1) U.S. Supreme Court is reportedly slated to take up some of the ongoing same-sex marriage lawsuits within the 6th Circuit. Considering the different outcomes, how will the governor's office handle things if a) same-sex marriage is found to not be unconstitutional, b) the decision is left up to the states or c) Supreme Court Justices, once again, decide to not hear the cases? 

2) Amazon's tax break for their distribution center in Cayce, S.C., expires at the end of 2015. Considering the number of jobs involved, will the governor renew the tax break? Haley was once an outspoken critic of the exemption. Has her opinion changed?

Thank you for your time.
-- Rob Cottingham
