Whistle blower's testimony delayed

SCANA CEO Jimmy Addison and his executives have been accused of lying to state regulators to protect their bonuses.

Posted

A SC Electric & Gas lawyer's complaints have shelved whistle blower Carlette Walker's testimony today.

A new date for her testimony has not been set.

Today the testimony of SCANA CEO Jimmy Addison will continue, followed by other SCE&G witnesses.

Walker left the company after warning SCANA's partners that executives were lying about progress on the now abandoned $9 billion nuclear project to continue high power rates and pay themselves millions of dollars in bonuses.

As SCANA executive VP of nuclear finance administration, Walker suffered emotional stress in being forced to submit false testimony about the project's cost.

As a condition of testifying, she had asked that top current and former executives - former SCANA CEO Kevin Marsh, Steve Byrne, Jeff Archie and Jimmy Addison - not be  present in the room. 

They could watch her on video elsewhere in the PSC offices.

More details in Thursday's Chronicle, the only newspaper that started questioning what SCANA was doing years before other media began reporting on the nuclear fiasco.

Lexington County, SCANA
