Check out Kale Roscoe. If you google his name it brings up trouble. He has made a mess out of our project here in Kentucky at Coldstream. Last week at a catered event for the tenants on the top floor during our lunch the electric was shut off due to unpaid utility bills! A great embarassment for his son Derek that was at the event. According to the GC, this is not the first time it has happened. Kale owes a lot of money in this town and has tried to cheat every sub that has tried to work for him including the GC and the architech.

Where is the Israili industry? Did I miss them? Why did we have such furloughs if things are going so well? We are still building despite our economic situation. That seems like great leadership! Hooha should check his/her facts! Last I checked, Greenberg was recruiting industry from Israel on a fact-finding mission during his nephew’s bar mitz fa! Where is the Israili industry?

How can anyone criticize the Medical University under Greenberg? Giving has increased, even under these tough economic times under Dr. Greenberg's reign. Despite the national trend of decreased giving (down 5.5% to education), MUSC's donations have increased by 5.2%. The Hollings Cancer Center is, and will continue to be, a huge success. Not to mention the numerous other contributions Ray brings to MUSC and Charleston. For criticizing Pastides... give the guy a little more time. Speaking of getting someone removed from office... let's keep our eye on the ball and get your former boss out of the West Wing of the Statehouse. How are we supposed to recruit industry when that dumbass occupies the seat of our Chief Executive? WTF? How can anyone criticize the Medical University under Greenberg?

Innovista would have been good if it actually did all the stuff you said. However in meeting any of those goals you set forth, it has been a complete failure by almost all measures. Pesticides was the guy in charge of running it ofr Sorensen. Once it became clear that Sorensen couldn't get this thing going, they looked for someone else. Pesticides, a nice guy by all measures, somehow convinced our brain dead BOT to give him the job because he could get the RC going. In fact, he got the job pledging that Kale Roscoe, the new developer he picked would get the next phase going within 90 days. Well we are appoaching the one year anniversary of that promise and all that has happened is that Roscoe moved some dirt around to make the brilliant bulbs on our BOT think something was happening so they wouldn't be tempted to give the job to a graduate of the university who is an excellent manager with superb connections, Andy Card. Pesticides also promised a comprehensive plan to raise a half a billion dollars for Carolina and move the university forward for the next 20 years within six months. That hasn't happened either. What has happened is we have gotten Lindsey Graham to bail out the horrid fundraising for the Business school by getting the feds to pay for it. He also made some budget cuts, but not the kind that really help the university move forward. Also we have nice little farmers market at the Russell House that Ms. Pesticides oversees. Other than that, nada. Beeza look out the window and see that you are wrong. Innovista would have been good if it actually did all the stuff you said.

Whether Foster's actions are inappropriate or not, there is no way to hold it against or tie it to the University. That's a real stretch. Now help me understand why you would oppose the University's efforts to better itself and the city of Columbia through its efforts at Innovista. Has ANYONE proposed anything any better? Funded anything any better? Done anything any better? Columbia (or the State of SC for that matter) offers little opportunity for our brightest graduates - those who have the ability to perform in and understand the higher sciences - I guess we should hang on to the status quo and mediocrity with our last gasp of strength as our economy, educational system, state government..... (you add your own name to the list) makes it's last circle around the bottom of the toilet bowl. Are you saying that as long as your mediocre kids get accepted, pledge KA and DeltaDeltaDelta, and we recruit well and make it to a bowl game, that's all you want from the flagship University of this State??????
