S.C. runs $20 million bill for handling hacking issue

SOUTH CAROLINA — South Carolina’s tab for handling the hacking of millions of taxpayer's personal information is approaching $20 million.

Officials haven't said how they will pay for it.

Gov. Nikki Haley's spokesman said she is consulting with the chairmen of the house and senate budget-writing committees.

Most of the money is owed to the company Experian for free credit checks for taxpayers.
