COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- GOP gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley is hitting again on her signature campaign issue of government accountability, but critics charged she has been recycling ideas dating back decades and questioned her own transparency.
The three-term Republican statehouse representative called her latest campaign event Thursday evening in Greenville a "Take our Government Back" rally.
As the governor's race gained momentum entering the fall stretch to November, Haley chose for her third major agenda speech the issue that compelled her to run.
The same issue also helped her attract the tea party support that pushed her to the top of a four-way Republican primary and win nomination.
But the campaign of Democratic nominee Vincent Sheheen is crying foul about her call to push lawmakers to disclose all their sources of income as a way to avoid conflicts of interest.
