More info on SCDEW please. I’m interested.
So they reduced their IT crowd from 6 to 3? Got rid of the more experienced people? Were they actually more talented or was it possible they were incompetent and just had the “experience” of being there for a long time? Are they replacing any of these positions, either with FT employees or contract employees? And what’s this about an IS guy with an associates degree and no certs? What is his background? Who is he related to? Who else is he buddy-buddy with? Anything odd about his work history?
FITS, you need to hammer these agencies unmercifully with this shit. Make these CIOs wet the bed at the mere thought of a security breach. If they are left comfortable, they’ll just do the same old shit of letting go talented IT people and hiring a bunch of do-nothings into management positions and any two-bit script kiddie will have their way with our personal information. Keep putting thumb tacks on their seats and they’ll be forced to make the effort to at least look before they sit down.
And that goes to the readers too. If you know something, spill the beans! Help hold these fuckers accountable!

“The former South Carolina governor, appearing Tuesday on NBC’s Today
show, acknowledged mistakes in his personal life but insisted he did
nothing wrong in 2009 — despite having paid $74,000 to settle charges
stemming from his affair that his personal travel and campaign spending
violated state ethics laws.
“There was no admission of guilt,” Sanford said. “This happened but by no means did we agree this happened.” ” USA Today/Catalina Camia
Sounds like Bill Clinton and the definition of “is” is….

So, I guess the Lexington Mafia sting is officially swept under the rug.

This MUSC story should concern those who are seeking care there. The cuts are the result of the continued plan to cut 10-15% of the workforce. These cuts are primarily in patient care arenas where there are cuts to supplies, equipment, and yes, personnel with a focus on nursing. MUSC has a lot to lose in the affordable care act. There are planned state reductions to urban centers with respect to disproportionate share monies in favor of more rural hospitals. Hospitals that are already full and cannot see more patients will languish. MUSC has tried to offset this a bit by constructing patient rooms on the top two floors of the Ashley River Tower (floors previously used for offices and administration). There has been a lot going on there this year with a new funds flow model that moves clinical revenues to the Dean and a botched non-compete where the faculty senate hired attorneys to seek injunctive relief and won in court to prevent an overly restrictive and unfair, not to mention illegal action against state faculty. Where there is smoke, there is fire so they say! Keep up the reporting on this.

Anyone think Jean Toal will discuss how she brought in one of her ringer upstate circuit court judges in December, 2012 as a favor to Jahue Moore to hear a case and rule totally in Moore’s favor? Oh, that’s right. Roslyn Frierson at court administration did that. Toal knew nothing about it. Right.

Why would USC study the brains of 12 Democrats and 12 Republicans for 10 years so they can tell us they are different? We already knew that.

I was employed with DEW for five months last year. What angers me is that while they were spending money on these lavish trips and providing raises to select higher ups, I had to go to at least three workshops in Columbia and Charleston using my personal vehicle. DEW refused to reimburse gas or mileage (forget about meals) and each trip cost about $35 in gas alone. I was considered a temporary part time employee and considering how little I was making it would have been better if I called in sick, even though I didn’t get benefits.
