South Carolina Speaker of the House and District 114 Representative Bobby Harrell reimbursed himself in excess of $325,000 for expenses according to a story by Renee Dudley in Monday's edition of The Charleston Post and Courier. However, Harrell did not provide receipts for those expenses, which date back to 2008.

Legislators are required to document their expenses to confirm that campaign money is being used for political purposes only and not personal spending.
