SPARTANBURG (WACH, AP) -- South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's application for her former job isn't sitting well with the Democrat she beat to win office.

The Herald-Journal of Spartanburg reports that Camden state Sen. Vincent Sheheen accused Haley of lying on her application to work for the Lexington Medical Center in 2008.

He made the comments in a speech to Spartanburg County Democrats on Monday, rattling off other GOP missteps that included former Gov. Mark Sanford's ethics violations and Republican Treasurer Thomas Ravenel's drug charge.

"What's happening in Columbia right now is that we are seeing corruption on a scale that we have not seen in the Legislature since Lost Trust and statewide in the last hundred years," Sheheen told the Herald-Journal.

Haley spokesman Rob Godfrey responded that Sheheen hasn't gotten over his November defeat.

"I'm not going to let any of Sen. Sheheen's comments ruin a great day for South Carolina," Haley said at Tuesday's roll-call voting bill signing when asked about the accusations.

Haley has said she didn't fill out the application. The document has been questioned because it listed Haley's earnings from a previous job as much higher than what her tax returns showed.
