Well…at least it’s a start?
I don’t know about a “giant leap” for transparency as multiple accounts under $10,000 can safely continue to be hidden, but maybe that will be realized soon.
At least i hope so….

Talk is cheap, my friends. Until Bobby Harrell and Glen McConnell are retired from public life, true reform of South Carolina’s government structure will continue to be subject to these sham “reform efforts” that fall short of the needed goals. Now is the time to put your money and your votes to work to get rid of both Harrell and McConnell.

Recruiting and funding true conservative choices in the 2010 elections will lead to change in SC. Anything else remains a signal to our politicians that the public is willing to put up with these charades.

These jokers don’t even know what’s in their own self-interest, much less the peoples. Trusting them with our taxpayer money is like trusting Bill Clinton to babysit your underage niece. Did anyone really expect anything more to happen?

We can’t let up until we have total transparency.

The fact that Bobby Harrell and Glenn McConnell have teamed up to hijack the issue and pass rules instead of laws that only make some preselected votes transparent is an indicator that they’re not going to give up the power to hide their corruption without a fight.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Just another example of Bobby getting his ass handed to him by a smarter politician. Remember Leatherman suckering him on the budget last year?

Bobby’s comments about the Governor and Policy Council just make him look like an idiot now. Both released statements praising the Senate, which totally refutes his strategy of painting them as impossible to please. Now he can either introduce similar rules in the House and admit he got served, or be left holding the bag as the transparency opponent all session. Either way, his days are numbered.
