Meet SC State Sen. Lee Bright (R-NRA):

State Senator Lee Bright recently introduced a bill to study "whether this State should adopt a currency to serve as an alternative to the currency distributed by the Federal Reserve System in the event of a major breakdown of the Federal Reserve System."


In other words, Bright is asking for a study to determine if South Carolina should print its own money.

Uh oh:

The S.C. Department of Revenue has filed a lien against On Time Trucking, a transportation company run by state Sen. Lee Bright, in the amount of $67.261.02.

That’s the amount the state says Bright, a Roebuck Republican who has made a name for himself as a strict fiscal conservative, did not pay in the second half of 2008 and first half of 2009, plus penalties, interest and court costs.
