It’s bad enough that S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley’s incompetent, scandal-ravaged, deficit-running Department of Employment and Workforce (SCDEW) is taking yet another taxpayer-funded vacation. But you won’t believe the ridiculousness we’re subsidizing in conjunction with this boondoggle …
According to the SCDEW brochure for this event – obtained exclusively by FITS – the conference being held at the luxurious Westin Hilton Head Island Resort and Spa will feature a “Technology Petting Zoo.”
Wait … what?
Come play in the Technology Zoo to touch, fell and ask questions about all the latest technology devices (e-readers, tablets, etc.). Also experience play-way devices and Talking Book Services devices for those with limited vision or those who are totally blind.
Yeah … so when they’re not working on their sun tans, we’re basically paying for this agency’s bureaucrats to fondle iPads, Nooks and Kindles.
Gotta love that Tea Party leadership, people!
“It’s a great day in South Carolina!”

nice pic of Clyburn
I thought that was Obama or Michelle. They all look about the same!
Michelle, without a doubt.
Grow up, guys. Just grow up.
I just can’t see how you can tell the difference. Could be either to me?

Rumor has it that it will be a kid friendly event. State employees are encouraged to bring their children and a full-time baby sitting service will be available.

This is a state agency that once functioned exceptionally well and professionally.
What the hell happened to it?
for many years the agency ran well enough to be recogized by the Dept of Labor as one of the best in the nation until it became a part of the Governor’s Cabinet – then it went downhill when upper level management jobs were being given to politicly friendly individuals, people who had no idea what the agency did and who did not care to tap into the knowledge of the people who did – I know, I worked there both before the take over and after – the difference in the before and after was such that many of the long time “Employment Security Commission” employees left or were forced out so the Governor’s “chosen ones” could enter and change the agency

Tea Party is a radical fringe extreme group. It has turned off the voters nationwide and done more harm to the GOP brand than anything in recent years. Time for the GOP to regain its footing as a partner in government, not an obstruction.
Sheheen for Governor !

And this, less than 1 month AFTER the DEW (Don’t Even Wish) just laid off it’s ENTIRE UI and ES local office staffs————“budgetary problems”!!!! Please note that not A SINGLE member of the “Central Office” support staff is in ANY danger of losing their “cushy” jobs——–but just who are they going to support come July 1??? DEW can’t even manage to get applicants for ANY of it’s “new and improved” staffing model (in sufficient numbers to matter)!!! And, last we now learn that the “signer” of these layoff notices (Mr. King) is now “running for the hills” as fast as his legs can carry him———-after all, he don’t do well standing in front of the fan during a s^&* storm!!
