Follow the money, find out who the “developers” are and name them, then follow their connections back to the people who are pushing this. Why aren’t the lawmaker(s) who inserted this in the budget named? Do better @FitsNews

“’I talked to administrative law judges [note: plural] here in South Carolina that said we would win this lawsuit if we pushed it forward,’ White said.”
Well, if that is true, then the judges he talked to likely violated Cannon 3 and 2 of judicial conduct – even if the case was not before them, and the opposing side on this lawsuit can raise alotta problems in court for this type of highly improper ex parte communication if they decide they want to walk away from the settlement.

5 Supreme Court decisions over the same unbuildable spit of land and $32 million with no committee review. Reminds one of when that random georgetown lawyer got the santee river landowners below the santee cooper dams $300 million from the insurance reserve fund for “flooding”. Carpetbaggers and scalawags. A tale as old as time, really.

Right after they pay $32 million for it, it will breach and wash into the sea. Thats the rush. The modeling shows it disappearing.
