Who wants to bet whatever gets privatized gets done so some business can suck tax dollars and reward Haley with campaign contributions?

Let me guess, she has more family members she wants the taxpayers to support. Three is not enough. Perhaps we could turn all the state lands over to the Sikh Temple and they will run it for the benefit of state residents on a “non-profit” basis.
Are you STUPID (or just another leftwing nutjob???): If she makes it private, there are fewer gov’t jobs to give to family…IDIOT!!!!…
Also: I don’t appreciate your Religious BIGOTRY…You worship Obama, and his taking from others w/ Gov’t, Nazi FORCE…
The gov’t politicians fund your Religion…So STFU w/ your hate for others not like you…
Wonder what happened to the $$$$ supposedly missing at the temple? When confronted, didn’t Ajit tell them to ask Nikki?

Thank goodness Sheheen is seen as a serious candidate.
Sanford NEVER had a legitimate opponent, so he acted like a Moderate…he was so arrogant, he just P!$$#d off both sides, so he talked big, and got over-ran, for a Spend-Happy government result…
Haley HAS tO RUN RIGHT to be re-elected. She opposed expanding the Wasteful Medicid Scheme by Obama…and Got’t do-nothing, but regulate, gov’t employees are losing their jobs…
Going Private w/ PRT would be a BIG feateher in her cap…
Sanford just Bloated that office, as performance sunk, because it was awash w/ cash from the state’s No. 1 industry…
She ran right the first time, fuckstick.
Simi, do you talk to yo mama with that mouth?
No, yours.
We should act like grownups…don’t you think. Don’t be a hater.
Well, don’t reply to my post like a smartass kid.
She won in 2010. you IGNORANT F&*#…but you must then GOVERN to the right to stay there, unless you’re running in an IDIOT state where they are so F($kin STUPID (like you) they Re-elect Obama, despite his Gargantuan Failure…
We’ll judge her on her record…so she better GO RIGHT..or lose…
Idio T, She ran on a TEA Party platform and failed on those principles. So, all she has to do is start over?
Those Principles are reducing the size of government, you Dumb@$$…That’s what she is doing, here…or can you not read???
If she sticks to the RIGHT…No leftwing Idiot will have a chance.
Haley gets into trouble when she goes moderate, like Sanford tried at times. But he was very crafty in perpetuating growth in gov’t and libertarianism.
Haley is being blatant when she goes right, because she wants to win again…
Haley hasn’t reduced the size of government. Ask Templeton and her assistants. She cuts a bit here adds it right back in someplace else…Hell, look at that budget.
She can legitimately point to federal mandates. Obama is Screwing all of us.
And the fact that Sanford spent like crazy will help her look better. Sanford was even worse revenues in Bush’s vibrant econnomy were through the roof. Sanford gobbled every penny, while playing the fiscal conservative… and erstwhile “Back-Packer”….
Bush’s what? Bitch, please…go ask the TEA Party about the fed money she took.
Her friends and family in state government aren’t hurting…if fact, they got raises!

Why not privatize Santee-Cooper, the state-run utility that sells electricity and water?
In addition to not being a “core function of government,” Tony Bartleme’s recent investigative articles in the Post and Courier reveal that Santee-Cooper is mired in corruption, nepotism, racism and serious dangerous working conditions.
I believe that. Clean ’em up and save 20-30% on your electric bills in the future. Why is the fall-back automatically to privatize?

This will wind up being as big a disaster as the privatization movement has been to the prison industry. Uninformed taxpayers cheered the process thinking that it was going to result in lower taxes. Never has…never will.
Prison privatization hurts the local community because good paying state jobs with decent benefits are replaced with minimum wage jobs with few, if any, benefits. These low paid workers have little money left over from their paychecks to support local businesses. The profits go out-of-state to the shareholders and prison executives and the taxpayer is still on the hook for the costs involved. There is little, if any, actual reduction in cost. Turnover at these institutions is astounding and horrific conditions lead to lawsuits.
Corruption is rampant as well. Witness the case of the “Kids for Cash” scandal where two judges took money from Robert Mericle, the owner of a juvenile detention facility, to channel hundreds of youths to his facility. These crooked judges handed down extended sentences for offenses as minor as insulting a school principal on MySpace. In return, they took in $2.6 million in bribes from Mr. Mericle.
Privatization, in any application, is BS and is used primarily to reward sycopants, co-conspirators, and seedy supporters of crooked politicians. Can anyone here say Haliburton?
I meant to note that the judges were from Pennsylvania…

So, who owns SC State Parks such as Hunting Island and Table Rock? Is this an attempt to take public lands and turn them over to the highest bidder? How about some depth on this topic so we can get a better grasp of what is at stake or is that asking too much? Or is it a “get it somewhere else, we’re just a headlines organization here” thing. I am uninformed on the role of PRT but I certainly believe that the government (a true government of the people for the people) has a role is protecting, preserving and providing some resources to the citizens who would otherwise lose out to “big development” along the way.
FITS doesn’t do depth. You’ll find plenty of little nothings posing as investigations, like the latest piece on the SC prof. Which used plenty of unwarranted inferences to plug Will’s friends, like AG Wilson, who might be paying FITS for positive spin.You’ll also find the jumping to personal conclusions and other marketing approaches to mining for click$. Occasionally you’ll read a brilliantly irreverent piece that is FITS
competitive advantage, like the piece on rampant herpes in our
legislature. That was masterfully FITS. If you want depth, facts, and more than two minutes thought on a piece, you’ll have to go elsewhere.

Why do her clothes always remind me of my grandmothers furniture from the 70’s.

Will, your “core function” of government talk is a bunch of malarkey. The US Constitution is a wonderful thing in that it spells out what our governments should be doing.. Heck, it even explains why we need a government at all.
We need one because, unlike running a corporation, running a Republic is not profitable. It takes more than your “cops and courts” to “insure domestic Tranquility” and “promote the general Welfare” of a society.

Haley lied to my face about PRT. Or she’s grossly incompetent. Or both.
Last Wednesday I sent FITS audio and docs, my conversation with Haley about Parish funding Laurens county corruption. http://laurenscountycitizenswatch.com/articles
FITS reported on my early investigation of misuse of PRT funding.
https://www.fitsnews.com/2012/09/15/corruption-in-laurens-county/
Before SLED and the Sec of State started investigations.
As the emails from PRT show, agency lawyer Willoughby attempted to hide Parrish’s mismanagement with intentional deceit. Or Willoughby’s ignorant of the law (or, maybe like her boss Haley, both) Come to think about it, Willoughby followed a great example of our state’s deceitful, or incompetent (or both..see a pattern here?) legal profession, AG Wilson.

Last week FITS posted nothing happens in Laurens County. PRT is happy, as are the other agencies Haley is supposed to be managing, that no one is noticing how a giant arterial flow of misuse is hidden by breaking it up into smaller pieces across the state. Local crooks in other counties, like the ones in Laurens County, are very grateful also.
FITS missed Haley’s breathtaking admission on the audio, she’s spending our money for her personal aspirations. Understandably. Just like Haley, FITS doesn’t know operations management means operating to written rules (our law) according to specific procedures (agency directives, etc.)
Haley ADMITTED the Commission for Ethics Reform has nothing to do with agency operations. It only affects elected officials. At the state level, that’s the legislature (mostly). Reducing corruption from PRT and other agency operations is one of her fundamental duties. She’s ignoring it. Instead, spending a lot of her time, and our money, funding and marketing consultants on a Commission that has nothing to do with the branch she’s supposed to be leading.
Wheee, Sanfraud/Haley on a National Repub Ticket!!! Liars and Snake Oil Salesman for Pres/VP!!!!

There is a group of hardcorps old time bureaucrats at PRT that run the place. They have enough connections and are owed so many favors by legislators that nothing is going to happen here. The directors of this crowd over the past 20 years have been absolutely, clueless of what is really going on with this budget and this department. Again, nothing is going to happen.

South Carolina taxpayers won’t get a damn fucking dime back if PRT, DOT, DMV or even STD is privatized.
Well in advance of any privatization the cockroaches will set up LLCs, DDTs, 501s, 402s and any other type of dummy organization to reap the benefits of contracts. Leading the pack will be our Gypsy Queen Bubble Head Governor and her tribe
“millions….back to the taxpayer” you say
Hell I got a better chance of being invited by ECB to come on down to Charleston for chicken /waffles brunch at Poogan’s Porch and having her whisper in my ear me what a sweet old white bastard fart I am, by damn.
+one million!!!!
