After a bunch of Republicans took leave during a pause on the hemp debate, we have receded for 10 minutes. Now looks like Massey meeting with a couple of Dem members, who he might need. Floor looks quite diminished at this point.

STATEMENT FROM ROM REDDY ON DEBATES HOSTED BY THE SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN PARTY Rom Reddy, Republican candidate for Governor, businessman, founder of DOGESC and seven-figure donor to President Donald Trump today released the following statement regarding the series of debates by the SCGOP: “The South Carolina Republican Party has announced that participation in its debates will require candidates to raise $100,000 from 250 donors. I will not be participating under those terms. I have made a commitment that I will not take political donations during the Republican primary. Not from special interests. Not from donors trying to buy access. Not even from grassroots donors. South Carolina government is broken because money has become the gatekeeper to power for the ruling class while the citizens get screwed. South Carolina now ranks 40 out of 50 states for campaign donation transparency. This means citizens vote for candidates not having any idea who bought and paid for them. Candidates spend more time raising money than speaking truth. Donors gain influence, become puppet masters and get richer off taxpayer money. Citizens lose their voice, their power and their money. No more deals for donors! This campaign is about restoring something far more important than political access. It’s about stopping the weaponization of government and returning money and power to the citizens.  If you believe power should flow to the people, not to big donors and special interests, then you understand why this matters. I will take this message directly to the people of South Carolina.  If the other candidates want to get together around a table and talk about the big issues impacting our state, with actual time to talk about real solutions and in front of a camera, I'm all in. But I'm not going to participate in some made for TV game with the ruling class. The clowns can have their circus. “
