Gov. Sanford spoke at Conway, SC City Hall last week.
ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is trying to build support for what remains of his agenda as he argues that he should serve out the remaining 16 months in his final term.
The governor spoke to the Orangeburg Kiwanis Club Monday afternoon and apologized briefly for the disappointment brought with the revelation of his affair before asking the more than 100 people on hand to help him bring about big changes in state government and spending caps.
Sanford admitted in June he had an affair with an Argentine woman and investigations since have raised questions about his use of state, private and commercial planes.
It was his first public appearance since the House Republican Caucus met Saturday in Myrtle Beach with fuming GOP legislators saying the governor needs to go.
