Buzz Bites: Haley to be honored, presidential candidate list grows

▪ S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley will receive a big hat tip for her efforts in recruiting businesses to the Palmetto State.

The Columbia World Affairs Council will honor the Lexington Republican with the 2016 Global Vision Award at a Nov. 30 black-tie gala.

The council’s chairman, former Columbia mayor and Democrat Bob Coble, heaped praise on Haley, calling her an “outstanding leader in connecting South Carolina to the global economy. Her record for recruiting investment into South Carolina from the world is second to none.”

▪ S.C. voters have more than two presidential candidates to choose from in November’s general election. This week, Independence candidate Evan McMullin was placed on the ballot, becoming the latest of five third-party challengers taking on Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump.

Also running are Constitution candidate Scott Bradley, Libertarian Gary Johnson, Peter Skewes of the American Party and Jill Stein of the Green Party.
