		<description>You&#039;re absolutely right, all in on. I am waiting for photos of people in handcuffs, particulary one. As for me, I can fully believe that those accused are guilty. People, myself included, don&#039;t want to believe it because it diminishes trust and everyone wonders who do we vote for if all of these people are guilty? I feel bad for their children especially. More people than anyone knows have spoken out about the way things have run politically around here for decades. They either went to jail or got black-balled or learned to keep their mouths shut. Then again, they sent people to jail and prison for less than what they were doing so let them pay for their crimes as well. Good to see you back, Big Bubba.</description>

I has seed several of these accused scoundrels when I went to Cheraw to git some dog and hog food. They is looking mighty pale and sickly, even some needs to shave. Is anyone gonna’ git locked up? Who knows!!!But, I knows one thing—-it is time to party regardless of the current condishuns. SO, on July 3rd, all ya’ll is invited to the Big Bubba hoedown down in Cheraw. The town told me that they wanted to sponser the Big Bubba picnic, so I says that they could. We is gonna shoot a bunch of fireworks. Listen ya’ll, to everyone that comes up and talks to Big Bubba, I will have a little present for you. But, you is got to say “Is you Big Bubba?” I will have Big Buck with me, but not to worry he don’t bite. He is a bit old and only has a few teeth left to chew Bar-B-Que with.

		<description>There is a house that is surronded by the property that the Ministry purchased. Bullard and Michael had negotiated a deal to purchase the foreclosed house for $6500. Hodge would not let them continue because he had Ted Vick working on the purchase. Didn&#039;t you read the post that spelled it all out. Hodge blocked his employee&#039;s because he and Vick saw an oppourtuntity to make a quick dollar. Vick bought the property for $7500 and sold it to the Ministry for $12,500 withing two months. That didn&#039;t include the closing costs that Matt Rivers charged them for his share. The horse barn is another story. The construction of this establishment was solely funded by the Ministry. The operation of the horse barn therapy has nothing to do with the Ministry. It was just another way Hodge sought to scam cash money out of the system. The program operating through equine therapy is a product of the solicitor&#039;s office. All construction and maintenance costs were being run through the Ministry controlled by Hodge. The Ministry is assuming all liability from a drug and alcohol program run through the solicitor&#039;s office. I still find it hard to believe that people in this county are doubting the fact of the wrong doings by our public officials!!! I guess it&#039;ll take some photo&#039;s of people in handcuff&#039;s to make believer&#039;s. Stay tuned to your local news outlets, I think this oppourtunity is just around the corner.

		<description>the 1st none surprised, do tell. what serious problems did bullard have with pee dee coalition. seems to me after reading posting on drip,drip,drip she has the support of their executive director. that doesn&#039;t sound like a serious problem to me. the money from the 1st Methodist church was a fifty dollar a year donation. i remember reading that on an earlier posting. what should be revisited was the real estate deal that Vick and Hodge pulled ($5000+) with the house on mercy ministry property. Hodge&#039;s buddy Matt Rivers was in on that deal as well. i wonder if they would still try to pull that fast one if they knew how much trouble it was going to bring them</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know anything about Mrs. Finch or anyone who worked in Sol. office, except that I do know Mrs. Bullard had serious problems with Pee Dee Coalition. I don&#039;t know if they&#039;re non-profit or not, but read Andrea Blue&#039;s comment under Drip Drip Drip or one of these links. I can only comment on CPD (some of them) and municipal judge. If I don&#039;t know, I can&#039;t say. Then there was the entry from 1st Methodist Church on one of these links and there was some sort of issue with money they donated to Mercy Ministries. It does appear obvious that some sort of shady dealing was going on, at least in Cheraw and Cfld Courthouse because of the number of comments about the topics. As with anything involving people in certain positions around here, one will have to work hard to get accurate information.</description>

		<description>post on every article hope to get some answers

People need to get their stories straight before they tell them.
First, Safrona Finch is not nor has she been in any treatment. I just spoke with her in person in Cheraw and she is fine. I did not right out ask but it appears she is still working but maybe on leave.
Second,this Barbara Bullard person is she one and the same that has had problems at several non-rpofits around the area?</description>

		<description>Thanks for the info. all in. I heard the same thing about Stewart resignation. How sickening, these people with plenty of money from their jobs alone have to resort to covering up chop-shop scams, etc. Now I wonder what everyone knows on Hodge for him to so readily cover up so much. It seems that he was doing their bidding far beyond chop-shop, being gay, being in this kind of bust. Someone somewhere knows something really big and really awful, otherwise I would think Hodge and others would say, ok, I did wrong, correct it and move on. Something stinks to high heaven here, beyond money, bathroom sex at rest stops, chop shop scams, drugs, etc. I speculate it&#039;s along the lines of local mafia involvement, child abuse, murder, something. These people are far too scared over current investigation. Yeah money is important and jails bad, but come on. What&#039;s the REAL story here? I&#039;ve heard all sorts of things, some going back decades. I hope the FBI will investigate it all. The Sheffield shooting, the boy dying in jail, people disappearing, all of it.</description>

		<description>1st none surprised, there were no arrests made. that&#039;s what the problem is. they were caught in the sting and a phone call was made to sled and the officers were told to let him go. the stipulation was that he not run for solicitor again. speculation is his connection stepped down from the sled chief position because of the chop-shop scam,as well as the cover up regarding the prostitution sting on 95. if you recall stewart just up and resigned much like hodge claims he did. anybody with any kind of common sense knows he resigned because they were there to fire him. just like the new car he has, they took the truck because it was state property. same as safrona finch&#039;s van being taken away although she claims to be still employed,she&#039;s just away on medical leave and will not be employed when that expires. as a matter of fact,she might not get to finish that if the fed&#039;s decide to act within the next three weeks. maybe she and jay can share a cell over in columbia. uh-oh safrona, i feel some type of illness coming on. don&#039;t worry though, i&#039;m sure the federal pen has excellent health care providers.</description>

		<description>By the way, in regard to the story above, if law enforcement was the source, why was no arrest record made? If it was a state and local arrest, who decided to cover this up? Maybe SC SLED needs to be investigated, too. What else are they willing to overlook if it&#039;s a prominent official. Child molestation, as well, perhaps, considering some of the entries on these solicitor sites are mentioning that. What a sad, sad day if that&#039;s true, especially if someone is covering that up. But nothing surprises me in politics.</description>
