Sanford's Hiking Trail Got Stimulus Money He Opposed

Gov. Mark Sanford has spent a good part of South Carolina's past legislative session railing against, and even actively turning down, portions of Barack Obama's stimulus package. And when the session ended with Sanford losing his fight to reject $700 million in federal stimulus cash, he abruptly disappeared. Few people knew where he went.

Several days later, it was revealed that the 2012 presidential hopeful was in the midst of a mind-clearing jaunt through the Appalachian Trail, hoping to do some writing after a stressful few months. But even removed from South Carolina politics, the governor couldn't escape the stimulus.

The economic recovery package enacted by Obama includes money that will help improve the trail on which Sanford has been hiking.

3. One would like to think he learned something....
It's never a bad idea to make some time to walkabout in wild places.

4. The REAL story
:rofl:

Jane Doe says:

Dr Orly, I have on very good authority that Governor Sanford was, in fact, planning to denounce Obama and speak out in regards to his eligibility, or lack thereof! I myself live in Idaho, but I have a cousin who works on the Governor’s staff and who I have been communicating closely with. She is very worried about Governor Sanford’s sudden disappearance, and she and I both believe that it is the work of the OBama-controlled Chicago Mafia and his hired goons.

Obviously, my cousin has been working hard promoting awareness of the usurper within South Carolina’s government, and she is now scared for her own safety. Dr Orly, I pray that you take extra steps to remain safe… We are all praying for you!

10. $25,000 of those funds will be dedicated towards relocating two miles of the trail in Virginia. How
much is going to GA isn't clear.
