Non-partisan group chides Scott and two other solons

Senator Tim Scott and two other members of the South Carolina congressional delegation to Washington (U-S representatives Ralph Norman and William Timmons) are harming South Carolina consumers, according to a non-profit that bills itself as a non-partisan organization that shines a light on special interests who often wield unchecked power and influence in Washington.  The group Accountable.US, in a new report, shows how much stolen money was returned to consumers in South Carolina and nine other states — the result it says of victims of the fraudulent behavior by the financial predatory industry.  It says, 28,181 harmed South Carolinians were helped between 2012 and 2022.  Accountable.US rates Senator Tim Scott and Representatives Norman and Timmons among the most aggressive opponents of the U-S Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s civil penalty for consumers.
