It’s been a rough year for residents of Greenwood County, S.C. Back in March, one of the county’s underperforming government-run school districts failed to test an employee it knew had been exposed to tuberculosis – leading directly to an outbreak which has infected several dozen people.

The latest example of government incompetence in Greenwood?

According to our sources, the Greenwood County Sheriff’s Department (GCSD) is missing an estimated $300,000. Wait … missing? Yup … as in the money is presently unaccounted for. Not only that, we’re told the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) has opened an investigation into the absent funds – one which centers around an employee who was recently terminated by the department.

FITS is endeavoring to uncover more information on this investigation – as is the local daily newspaper, The (Greenwood, S.C.) Index Journal. In fact a reporter with the Index Journal has reportedly filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the Sheriff’s office seeking receipts and other information.

Stay tuned …

“county’s underperforming government-run school districts failed to test an employee”. Lets see. The root causes of the problem were that the school is “underperforming” and “government-run”. So had it been a private school, which by definition perform well, and Howie’s Rich’s voucher scam had been in place, it would have been impossible for this TB situation to occur. That correct?

CNSYD in deep thought:

(Hmmm. Lets see. FITS has posted another story about gubmint run schools while mentioning TB which is a deadly disease that is transmitted from human to human and Howie Rich is a human so….)

HOWIE RICH IS A MURDEROUS SCUM THAT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO MENTION SCHOOLS BECAUSE IT CAUSES GLOBAL CLIMATE WARMING CHANGE. Unless the weather is cool then it would be Global Cooling.

:P

Edit: Wow. Putting those types of braces really makes the text looked wacked out. Hey Shifty, I’ll bet you could come up with something really cool with that? Think?? :) Had to repost it. I couldn’t read it at all.

Frank Pytel aka Sic Willie pimp. Where did my post downgrade the seriousness of TB? I was not the one who tried to tie who runs the school system to the TB problem, it was your boy Sic Willie. Since you apparently seldom read Sic Willie’s postings, then you have missed his many attempts to connect diverse topics to his school voucher scam. It is almost as bad as his blaming Haley for each and every ill SC has. It is very similar to Obama blaming Bush for everything.

Like SLED doesn’t have serious problems of it’s own. Remember all the abuse and misuse of public money by SLED? What hasn’t Keel arrested the thieves? Well, he is one of the long time good old boys, remember?

The stupid newspaper here is waaaaaayyyyyy behind the curve. They didn’t even break the story about the employee. Other people already have the information here in Greenwood. Our newspaper is terrible. They are VERY clearly biased (see the “Our View” section) and it is often referred to as the “Daily Mistake” because it is chock full of errors.

Poor old Greenwood (and Laurens) county. Parts of them actually believe that Representative Michael Pitts is pro-2nd Amendment, because he says he is and because he bought an NRA Life Membership as a prop for his campaigns.

What is sadder, is that the NRA seems to believe it too. Someone looking at the crap he proposes in obvious attempts to either gut pro-gun bills he introduces or make them into worse situations for gun owners than what they had before, if the bill does get passed, would see an entirely different situation and an entirely different “truth”.

I hope the citizens of Greenwood and Laurens counties who are in Pitts’ district see the light and vote this charlatan out, next year.

3 Districts for less than 10,000 kids is all you need to know about Greenwood’s “gubamint edumikashun sistem”. As for the money – what is the freaking sheriff’s department budget for that one horse county?!? $300,000 went missing and no one noticed?!? They must all onlyhave one bullet that they keep in their pockets or Boss Hogg slips em a lttle on the side.
