COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A federal judge has ordered lawyers
seeking to prevent the release of information to South Carolina
Gov. Mark Sanford on workers compensation awards and attorney fees
to explain their stance.
The State of Columbia reports Sanford wants the information from
the state Workers Compensation Commission.
The data is available through a request under open records law,
but Sanford used an executive order.
Charleston attorney David Pearlman told the newspaper that the
reason lawyers for injured workers do not want the information
released will come out in court.
Sanford has had a long standing feud with the Workers
Compensation Commission going back to arguments two years ago about
new medical standards for evaluating injured workers’ claims.
