At a time when other states are clamoring for cash, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is saying no thanks.
But Sanford is even balking, at least for now, at asking for a federal loan for his state's unemployment benefits, which otherwise will run out of money at the end of the year.
While the dispute is the latest chapter of a long-running fight with the state's unemployment department — Sanford doesn't believe its statistics on unemployment are accurate and wants another financial audit of the agency — the standoff threatens to halt weekly payments of up to $326 for about 77,000 people.
