Letters: Gov Haley should have led on infrastructure

Gov. Nikki Haley continues to lead from the rear, whether it’s not taking a stand on the removal of the Confederate flag until she saw the winds of change coming or her refusal to accept federal Medicaid funds (anything related to Obama must be bad) or her refusal to address the crumbing infrastructure (lord forbid we raise gas tax by even 1 cent per gallon) that might knock her out of favor with the far right.

This state voted for her, and we got what we deserved. South Carolina should serve as an example to other states to address their infrastructure problems, as now we’ll need federal funds after all.
