GOVERNOR “GOES LEFT” FOR COSTLY COUNSEL DURING REVENUE DEPARTMENT SCANDAL
S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley’s administration retained a liberal Columbia, S.C. public relations firm and a left-of-center, insider law firm to assist her in handling this year’s massive security breach at the S.C. Department of Revenue (SCDOR). Not only that, these firms were retained by Haley more than [...]

Nikki Haley Targets Bobby Harrell, GOP Leadership
GOVERNOR DIGS INTO ETHICAL ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH SPEAKER’S PHARMACEUTICAL BUSINESS
An integral component of S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley’s defense against the serious ethics charges filed against her has been to assemble incriminating information on leaders of the “Republican-controlled” S.C. General Assembly (i.e. those responsible for determining her fate).
In fact that’s pretty much been the extent of [...]
Transition Transparency
We were pleased when (two weeks after we raised the issue) S.C. Gov.-elect Nikki Haley finally decided to release the salary ranges for several of her transition employees last week.
This request of ours irritated some people … but we continue to believe that candidates who campaign on open government should at the very least be [...]
Firm’s Proximity To New AG Questioned
If there’s one government office that most people expect to be free from shady political deal-making, it’s the Attorney General’s office. This is where people go for justice … not political favors, and there’s an expectation that the business done there is being done above boards.
Or “transparently,” if you will.
Unfortunately, South Carolina’s incoming Attorney General [...]
Well, Well, Well …
It sure didn’t take long for former S.C. House Speaker Pro Tempore Harry Cato to land on his feet …
The defeated GOP politician – who has been instrumental in keeping South Carolina’s legal climate as anti-competitive as possible over the last decade – has been hired as a lobbyist for Nelson Mullins, the state’s largest [...]

Law Firm Pressuring Employees For Political Contributions
By FITSNews || Senior partners at the Columbia, S.C. law firm of Nelson Mullins are reportedly pressuring their employees to financially support the Capitol City mayoral bid of ethically-challenged attorney Steve Morrison, who is himself a senior partner at the firm.
According to multiple sources (and copies of emails shared with FITS), firm employees are being [...]
Sources: Morrison Subject Of Anonymous Court Memo
By FITSNews || Unethical behavior by Columbia S.C. mayoral candidate Steve Morrison led to a Supreme Court ruling a decade ago that has shaped how attorneys in South Carolina must handle pretrial discovery and witness depositions ever since.
That’s probably not the sort of distinction that this decorated “humanitarian” covets, but it certainly puts him in [...]
Like We Said: Ear Hair Is In
That’s not uber-liberal special interest lobbyist Dwight Drake in the picture above, but it is someone who is struggling mightily with an ear hair problem.
What does that have to do with anything?
Well, as was reported first on FITS over two weeks ago, Drake (a.k.a. “Ear Hair”) – a lobbyist with Nelson Mullins law firm – [...]
