It took as long as it took because he didn't act on it until several newspapers put in a Freedom of Information Act and dug up his insanely lavish travel. All the sudden after it was reported and after he was allowed and agreed to block investigations of his
37 ethics violations with a $74,000 fine... brought about by the South Carolina GOP run government... all while continuing to say he did nothing wrong.

How to Sell Conservatives on Energy-Efficient Lightbulbs
The study looked at the choices of 210 consumers, about two-thirds of them women. All were briefed on the benefits of compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs over old-fashioned incandescents.
When both bulbs were priced the same, shoppers across the political spectrum were uniformly inclined to choose CFL bulbs over incandescents, even those with environmental labels, the study found.
But when the fluorescent bulb cost more – $1.50 instead of $0.50 for an incandescent – the conservatives who reached for the CFL bulb chose the one without the eco-friendly label.
"The more moderate and conservative participants preferred to bear a long-term financial cost to avoid purchasing an item associated with valuing environmental protections," the study said.
