Good news for South Carolina. There will be two first class ports competing for its business. That should keep service up and prices down. Competition is always good. Always. Even Chinese competition. As long as there no fraud or criminal activity, competition is always good. ALWAYS! This is good news for all who call themselves Libertarians.
“Rationales for corrupt behavior”? Wish I could say your hypocrisy surprises me, but it doesn’t. Every one of Haley’s opponents including Fits in this very article suggest that DHEC, which is supposed to be protecting our health and environment, should have instead used their powers for the competitive advantage of Charleston. That would be corrupt behavior.
No. Haley sold out the state for her own political advantage. She and her apologists can sling all the toxic sludge in the world. It will not change the basic facts.
Political advantage? What are you talking about? She took a political hit for doing the right thing.

Not really. Most small “l” libertarians are business people who have no problem using g’ment approved and expanded shipping projects. My libertarian business friends would love to have an opportunity to locate in South Carolina, create private sector jobs, make money, pay taxes and fish and drink beer … just like most of you.
One thing: all Libertarians, cap “L” or small “l”, love it when businesses get started, grow and prosper.
The DHEC approval for the dredging was excused by the claim that some unproved mechanical gadgets to be installed and will overcome the predicted oxygen depletion in the water due to the dredging. Want to guess who gets to determine whether they actually work?

Do you ever get tired of inventing rationales for corrupt behavior? Must be exhausting to have to do that on a daily basis.

At least Governor Deal works to bring jobs to his own state, we have Haley who decides to help other states out at our cost.
This bodes poorly for attracting new businesses in SC, too.

Jus’ found out: where ever that deep water port goes, so goes Tesla’s next new battery plant. (And maybe Daimler, too.)
