Sic Willie is wrong with this column. As Governor Haley herself has made is very easy to obtain public records. Just ask anyone at the SCDOR how easy it was for all that public information to had been gotten so easily.
Along with public documents include those that have the names of those with CWPs.
Gov. Haley initially cited the law that exempts them from FOIA but eventually did release information. I also know that she supports FOIA.
@ B Dickerson, LOL – I missed your sense of humor the first time ;)
You’re full of yourself. Please, seek out serioud cognitive therapy for your psychosis!
It looks bad for the home team. Our new royal class, the elected officials, know what is best for us peons. We deserve what we elect.
@ By commonman I would agree with that, EXCEPT our election was pretty stolen this round.
So the claim is our population is filled with masochists when the election isn’t stolen?
:)
I prefer to think of it as “some” politicians are sadists :)

As the writer states, it is simply an obstructionist culture, and people put up with it. People get the government they deserve.
aha. so now that Haley’s going after Fits’ Amazon money, Fits is going to support quinn in the primary against her… why else would this site be shilling for quinn?
There needs to be stiffer and enforce criminal penalities for FOI violations. It is already codified in section 30 of the SCCOL. But nobody ever gets charged for violation the law.
The entire state of SC has got to be cleaned up and OUT – PERIOD!
SCCOL Section 30-4-110:
Any person or group of persons who willfully violates the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars or imprisoned for not more than thirty days for the first offense, shall be fined not more than two hundred dollars or imprisoned for not more than sixty days for the second offense and shall be fined three hundred dollars or imprisoned for not more than ninety days for the third or subsequent offense.
An FOI request to a Governmental Agency? It is all in how you word it! That is the rules at a certain Health Agency!
Former Interim Town Manager Benny Lee Webb was convicted for assaulting me when I went to the Atlantic Beach Town Hall to ask to view a contract for legal services that the Council had voted on three weeks before. Listen, as the jury was able to do, to what happened:
