Representative Gil Gatch (R-Summerville) filed (Thursday, March 2) a resolution today directing the South Carolina House Judiciary Committee to begin an immediate inquiry into whether the South Carolina Comptroller General, Richard Eckstrom, should be impeached. Richard Eckstrom told the Senate Finance Committee recently that the state's Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports (ACFR) for the past 10 years have overstated how much cash the state had in its coffers to the amount of $3.5 billion as they were double counting some of the state funds for more than 10 years.
