Oops. Off by one year. Old people deal mostly in decades.

I got smurfed in 1994. I bet his legacy was still stinking around though.

Martha Bryan’s accusations ring every bit true to me. The fact that the Legislature rammed his nomination down our throats without thoroughly looking into her lawsuit is par for the course. This should have been a red flag.

He was Chairman of the South Carolina State Board of Accountancy the year I sat for the CPA exam. There was a strategically placed little smurf man, sitting across from me giving me the e-y-e every time I glanced over at him. He was obviously not there to take the test. Wonder who was paying him and why? I took these concerns to the SC Department of LLR, only to get the run around.

Martha’s allegations are likely true, but they didn’t stop the wheels from turning for even one minute.

Chellis needs to G-O.

These accusations aside, we should think hard about the future of two truly outstanding South Carolinians who happen to be African-American,TIM SCOTT and HENRY WHITE.

Unfortunately, TIM SCOTT won’t be elected Treasurer. If a Screening Commission were to be established, as Spartanburg businessman Lee Bright suggested to me today, maybe Mr. Scott would have gotten up to the plate. But it is not to be. Still, as everyone in Charleston knows, South Carolina needs Tim Scott in a prominent role statewide. (Tim has served ably in public office for over a decade, most recently as Chairman of Charleston County Council, and is one of the founders of Palmetto Family Council.)

HENRY WHITE could also be facing a future of being underutilized. Will legislative members and Chellis sack White from his position as Executive Director of the state Budget & Control Board? That would also be a loss to the state.

The file is a public record so you can get the allegations against him. What’s harder to get is the truth, but Will’s “truth threshold” is barely above the ground. And Shaggy, I think you might have missed the boat on lawsuit counting/link posting.

Hey,

At least this happened (if it indeed did happen) on his own clock and not the people’s clock. When Richard Eckstrom was treasurer, the state of SC had to settle a sexual harrassment charge against him.

Now he is on his second term as comptroller general. He took his family to Minnesotta using the state van. However, no ethics violation were found.

Perhaps the treasurer’s office has some kind of chicken curse – Maybe Mr. Patterson should just get the seat back.

“Mongoloid Scholl”?!! William, that sort of language is cruel, insensitive and just plain outdated! If you absolutely must respond to BIN, could you take the high road…or least a road not quite as low? I know for a fact your mama raised you better than this!
