Haley block freedom of the press
Nikki Haley got her 14-year-old daughter a job working for the state — a thirty hour a week job that is paid for with taxpayer money. The State Newspaper and Charlotte Observer reported this online and the governor’s office immediately made them take the story down. Did you know that the governor could do that?
There are some, including Nikki Haley herself, who say that the children of politicians should be off-limits. There are others who say that Nikki Haley has gotten her husband a $65,000 state job with benefits, her brother-in-law a state job at MUSC, and her chief-of-staff’s wife a $50,000 part-time state job and her forcing others to hire her family should be the subject of scrutiny. Or at least, these reporters thought it was news until they got a phone call telling them to get rid of it.

Repuke values. Someone of Haley's position puts her 14 year old daughter to work. With the unemployment rate so high, Haley uses her position to take a job opening away from someone who truly needs a job....oops the job was most likely created just for her daughter. Thus taking away much needed pay from other employees.
When the newspapers reported this story, Haley again used her position to violate the freedom of the press.
