Yes, follow-up would be nice and let’s start listing the categories where SC fails and excels. Department by department and agency by agency. Also, why don’t we really examine the high paying state jobs within the agencies, and departments to see if political abilities and dependencies affect pay, with emphasis on the inequities. That way we can see if SC really operates on the merit pay scale system or the good old boy system. Obviously executives, and professionally licensed folks deserve good pay, but I do believe there is some good old boy stuff in the works.

You know it is a sad day in America when the average government employee makes more than someone in the private sector. Would you agree that there is something flawed when government is called upon to employ a middle class rather than the private sector? Sure sounds like the days of FDR are upon us in light of the economy and the above referenced income comparison.

I subscribe to the sweat of one’s brow,experience and necessity philosophy. It is a capitalist thang. Concersely, with the erosion of liberties, and opportunities, the government sector is sounding rather socialistic. In fact, at our beloved School of Business we are taught not to hire people with over 5 years government employment. Why? Because they are considered lazy, fat, and are not efficient as employees.

The media you cite…punted. The decision to run these items on a holiday weekend is the same as a legislative body giving itself a pay raise at 2:35 Sunday morning.

Demand follow-up stories…and see what happens

This is a disgrace… and I’m one of those who usually defends the Columbia status quo. I guess everyone draws the line somewhere… this is where I stop supporting them.
Thanks for the well written post on this blatant misuse of our taxdollars.

Don’t worry the Democratic party will straighten it all out once they take back the majority in November. See, Democrats, learn from others and use it to their advantage.

A prime example of something learned from a rock band and NGO at a Chicago concert and used in SC politics.

Is it getting better? Or do you still feel 50th in every positive category in the nation and 1st in every negative category after 25 years of GOP rule?

Change is coming, even for SC. Even if we have to add Puerto Rico,Guam and the Virgin Islands as states to get you off the bottom of the pile.

Aren’t you an “anti-intellectual inbred?” Sure seems like it.
