How’s about the $80,000+ Floyd’s firm has gotten on a no-bid contract from Senior Shield? Which Floyd has admitted to receiving, mind you …

That sort of evidence?

Or what about Miles registering Senior Shield as a for-profit before he got busted by the Post and Courier – and failing to report any of it on his statement of economic interests.

What about the cut Senior Shield was slated to receive for every business that “verified” its senior-friendliness?

What about Miles past as a pyramid scammer?

“Honor in journalism?”

You’re coming to us with “honor in journalism?”

GTFOH.

However, to simply toss someones name around with NO SUPPORTING evidence is not even constructive. Karen Floyd is not raising any money for Lt Gov Bauer or involved in any way,shape or form. Journalists need to present facts and evidence opposed to making blanket statements that they have no intention of backing up! Lets put some honor back in journalism. It starts here in South Carolina. In politics we are use to shameless attacks. However, to simply toss someones name around with NO SUPPORTING evidence is not even constructive.

Since when can a 501c3 take away another persons privilages or benefits (membership in SC Access), which are granted by the state. Sounds like a shake down to me. How is this legal? There is not much difference in money going to a man, or to his 501c3.He still decides the fate of the money. SC Access is a wondeful program, run by dedicated employees. It should be protected.

The membership fees would go to the private organization Miles created and controls, Senior Shield. The public is watching now, so money is being spent in a certain way. Long after the public stops watching, Miles and Senior Shield will still be there, collecting money and spending it as they see fit. Whatever he promises now is not binding in the future.

Sue works for Karen and uses a drop box for the Andre stuff. As far as I know, Sue is still doing Andre Bauer's fundraising. Karen simply gave the fundraising to her employee and cousin Sue Long.

We know all about Miles' referral agreement, and besides, we just gave your boss some nice ink in the headline story. You really wanna pick today to whine? And seriously, be careful before you throw a "reckless disregard" accusation out there. Last time we checked that's the libel standard according to Times v. Sullivan, which we presume means you are prepared to initiate a libel action against us. If so, lock and load, big boy. We look forward to that particular "show and tell." D. Wilson- Smear? Try facts. Floyd's gotten at least $80K off this scam - and we have it on the best possible authority she was still dialing for Andre dollars this year. In fact, if she's still getting SS cash she's probably over $100K by now. -FITS Frank- Give it a rest.
