Looks to me like you think relinquishing state control to union labor is the answer. Sounds more like an Obama Democrat than a Republican....I dare you! Let's look at the real problem and put the blame where it should be. With any business or government it starts at the top. Governor/CEO(Mark) - The number one recruiter/salesman for this state. When he doesn't do his job, we all fail! Department of Commerce - The number one sales teams in the state. When they don't do their job, we all fail! Legislature - The body that enables the State and the Governor to be successful. When they are at a stand off with the Governor, we all fail. Ports - A tool to assist the Governor, Commerce and Legislature in their efforts to recruit industry. The engine not the driver. When the Governor, Commerce and Legislature fail to do their jobs, Ports fail. My dear boy it is easy to criticize things we don't understand. I have an idea, maybe it is time for Mark Sanford, Commerce and the Statehouse to stop pointing fingers and actually do the job they were hired to do.

Let’s look at the real problem and put the blame where it should be.

With any business or government it starts at the top.

Governor/CEO(Mark) – The number one recruiter/salesman for this state. When he doesn’t do his job, we all fail!
Department of Commerce – The number one sales teams in the state. When they don’t do their job, we all fail!
Legislature – The body that enables the State and the Governor to be successful. When they are at a stand off with the Governor, we all fail.
Ports – A tool to assist the Governor, Commerce and Legislature in their efforts to recruit industry. The engine not the driver. When the Governor, Commerce and Legislature fail to do their jobs, Ports fail.

My dear boy it is easy to criticize things we don’t understand. I have an idea, maybe it is time for Mark Sanford, Commerce and the Statehouse to stop pointing fingers and actually do the job they were hired to do.

They both stood by and silently watched us run off a private company wanting to build a $450 million dollar terminal in Jasper County. Now they both want to act like they are "helping" but have no real clear ideas as to how to help. Changing the board members of a Soviet styled enterprise and coming up with a 20 year plan reeks of communism. Now we can watch the oldest trick in the communist book- as our state leaders figure out how to lease or sell these state assets to their friends so they can benefit at taxpayer expense.
