I think we need another FBI sting targeting the GOP and GOP corruption in this state.
Will someone please call the President to get it going??
Title of this article is “Stop Special Treatment For SC Legislators”…. isn’t he taking the legislative pension that only legislators get?
Enjoy the $36k for the rest of you life, Mike. My pension won’t be that much.
$36k a year? Are you kidding? Are you sure? Better than some of my record contracts!
Hey Fits, is it true that all legislators receive free medical treatment at MUSC for anything, such as MRIs, CT scans etc??
Dear Mike Rose…….. (yes YOU)
Bravo, you really know how to get someone to crack a smile. BRAVO…(Clap, clap, clap)
Mike, we find it rather pleasing that you have the utter gall (or guts) to pen this “open” letter to FITS about ethics..!!
Where have you been concerning Mr. Paul Thurmond…???
…..Lin Bennett…..??
….”Promenade Landfill”….???
…..SC State…??
..and most notoriously…the 900 Million silent auction to BOEING with out a PUBLIC review or vote…!?! (spit…!)
Mr. ROSE……you call yourself a Lawyer? Have you sir ever read the “Art of WAR”? Well my friend, how ethical has actions been in Mali or Syria or Argentina been lately..!? Mr. Rose, we feel sure your voters want you to think, act, and “Play” like a political warrior….are your voters LOSERS..!?
…and NOW you want to get ETHICAL..?! Maybe we need you to lead a delegation to Mali and ask some corporate supporters on BOTH sides of the “gas fight” about ETHICS and how much it is costing the American Taxpayers..!!
Mike we appreciate you sticking your nose out in this article but we highly suggest you take a look at some rather OBVIOUS corporate activity on both sides of the Atlantic and talk to them about ethics…!!! SC Pensions are depending on …WHAT..??
Hey Phil if you dont get help at Charter please get help somewhere
…. I missed the photo of Mr. Rose sitting on a white cloud rising towards the heavens silhouetted against a golden sun when he retired.
Ditto on the above. SC Lawyers have no credibility but they sure write pretty articles. All the lawyers i’ve sued and hired (except two) have mastered the art of opportunistically twisting manipulating, and expanding law beyond four corners, in repugnance of substantive intent.
No wonder. The lead lawyer of the state sets the lead. AG Wilson’s bullshit excuses why he’s not investigating Harrell. (see AG spokesman Powell’s comment in September 25, Post and Courier article, more http://laurenscountycitizenswatch.com/investigations/attorney_general).Anyone who can read does their homework understands Article 3 and 5 of the ethics code don’t have anything to do with AG authority in 14-7-1630.
Hey Mr. Rose, seems like a lawyer ought to be more concerned with corruption of lawyers than legislators, like when the County Attorney directed a private religiously charted organization to funnel a secret contribution to his escrow acccount through the City Manager and a government agency. (http://laurenscountycitizenswatch.com/investigations/county_attorney) and obstructed legislative authority and a bunch of other violations. Truth is an absolute defense against slander. I ought to be sued if what I’m saying isn’t true. It would be fun to have all the lawyer slimy shenanigans opened in Court. I’d move it to federal court though. No way would I stick around in SC Court of Clowns, Queen Jean and the rules amendment committee of legislators who ‘represent’ my interests in front of the Court.
Nothing personal. I understand most people don’t study law so when lawyers spew their own invented meanings, people just swallow.
Not me. I study law and I reserve swallowing for special occasions.
ah poor Katrina can only be a paralegal when it really wants to play with the big boys!!!
“That commission is composed of an even number of members appointed 50 percent by the Texas Governor (from a list of ten nominees furnished by the Senate and House) and 50 percent by the Texas Legislature.”
Still controlled by the legislature. Note that 1/2 of them are from a list from the legislature and the other 1/2 are from the legislature. Shit, I’d just as soon have Dick Harpootlian appoint 1/2 and Jake Knotts appoint the other 1/2.
