Top “Ethics” Staffer Resigning From Agency

CATHY HAZELWOOD LEAVING POST AT S.C. STATE ETHICS COMMISSION

|| By FITSNEWS || Poor Cathy Hazelwood. On those rare occasions when she – as the top staffer at the S.C. State Ethics Commission (SCSEC) – tried to hold politicians accountable for their actions, her superiors overruled her.

No wonder she was ready to get the hell out of dodge …

And this week’s shenanigans were apparently the final straw …

According to our sources, Hazelwood will be leaving the SCSEC to take a position with incoming superintendent of education Molly Spearman.

No word yet on who might replace her, but if you think it matters … LOL.

“Elected officials in South Carolina (in all branches of government) are able to do as they please … free from accountability and free from the consequences of their actions,” we wrote earlier this week. ” It’s a perfect example of what happens when those who make the laws abuse their authority.  It’s also why shamelessly self-serving politicians like S.C. governor Nikki Haley are able to get away with their chronic hypocrisy on ‘ethics reform‘ and ‘transparency in government.'”

Bottom line?

It’s all rigged, people …

Some days we don’t even know why we try …

Abolish the whole thing and be done with it. Made up rules only give the impression that the ethics are important.

Don’t believe I have ever stated such on this site since first logging on, so here is a first

Had contact with Ms. Hazelwood on a couple of occasions and found her to be an exception in State Government – no Cockroach label warranted

Wish her well with her new endeavors

Had contact with Ms. Hazelwood on a couple of occasions and found her to be a puppet for politicians. She lied to my face and dismissed a complaint all the while knowing the evidence was overwhelming against a top staffer of a major agency. She implied strongly that there was nothing she could do to sanction the scum involved if she wanted to keep her job. I actually ended up feeling sorry for her weak personality.

Dayum.
Your mom must be giving lap dances over 60 hours a week, by your own math. Rare to see a stripper with that kind of work ethic. Good for her.

Maybe Nikki would like to hire her.

Herb Hayden protects the powerful and harasses the not powerful. He is a tool of the super elite and has done their work well. He is a gutter rat of historic proportion. I hope he enjoys his “fringe” payments in hell.

Just another example of Molly hiring her liberal cronies. Can she bring on Harpo just for good measure? Maybe put Jim Rex on retainer?

Spearman is stacking the whole place with liberal Democrats.Betsy Carpentier worked for Jim Hodges for God’s sake. She’s bringing back the Rex educrats that Mick Zais was finally able to run off. The school board association is calling all the shots over there now.

Now, why don’t you tell us one bless-ed thing the SCDOE has so much power over to get your panties in such a filthy wad?

Your sources tell you? This was all over the news literally a week or maybe even two weeks ago.

She needs to tell all …. she has nothing to lose. If they come after her for telling all, she can make millions in tv interviews and a book deal. And while doing it, bringing down the sacks of shit in SC government offices.

South Carolina has an Ethics Commission?

S,C. has an ethics whose members are unethical. Or maybe it’s just a fantasy.
