From GreenvilleOnline:
State Attorney General Henry McMaster, responding Monday to a lawsuit brought by a high school student to allow the Legislature to accept federal stimulus funds, said the student may not have proper legal standing and her lawyers may not have included all the proper parties.
But McMaster said he doesn’t object to state Supreme Court justices hearing the suit brought by the 18-year-old student.
Gov. Mark Sanford has refused to apply for $700 million of $2.8 billion in stimulus money available to the state over two years unless lawmakers first agree to spend an equal amount on state debt.
