COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The state Commerce Department spent $134,000 on economic development trips to London and Tokyo earlier this year, or $26,000 less than initially estimated, according to final tallies provided to The Associated Press and other media through open records requests.
The agency reports spending more than $97,000 to send Gov. Nikki Haley and 10 other state employees to an international air show in London in July. It spent $36,880 to pay for Haley and seven others to attend a trade meeting in Japan in September.
