SC gov to pay $74K in ethics fines


South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford has agreed to pay $74,000 to settle charges that his travel and campaign spending violated state ethics laws.

The Republican governor is accused of breaking 37 laws, including improperly using pricey plane tickets for a trip to Argentina where he saw the mistress he infamously called his soul mate.
Under a consent agreement signed Thursday, Sanford doesn't admit guilt but does not contest the charges either.
