Did the IRS demand this audit??..If so, I would not get too giddy about it, if I were you…
Obama HATES Republicans (like FITS) and he has shown he’ll stoop to NAZI tactics to persecute his political enemies…(like FITS)…

I thought you said FITS was a “liberal-tarian.” Make up your mind, stooge.

It would be interesting to see an analysis by race of the agency’s clients together with the recidivism rates. Also, the same analysis for adults and juveniles still incarcerated. A ten-year analysis must be available.

If so, I’m wondering if Thomas deducted them as a charitable donation on her income tax return. That would really be a bummer if she did…..hmmmm!

Looking at the church’s website, the church appears to be a well-run and well-funded organization. It makes me wonder, based on Thomas’ hiring criteria, how many of the church members (or their relatives) she has hired or are employed at her agency. That would be an excellent line of inquiry for the LAC to investigate. If I had the authority this would be my top priority.

Somebody should drop a note in the mail to the LAC.

Here is an excerpt from her official bio at the agency:

“She was the principal advisor to the Director on the agency administration and operations to include legislative policy, fiscal and materials management, budgeting, training, and information technology systems.

Prior to assuming her duties as Deputy Director, Mrs. Thomas served as a Director of Development at the University of South Carolina. She has an established a career in credit administration, banking, and regulatory merger compliance.”

The audit report shows how all that is working out (sarcasm). The link to her bio is—-

This is what happens when you are basically a “white” party. You don’t know enough people of other races to realize when they are con artists.

Plus, the GOP has been about “talking points” since Newt Gingrich hired Frank Luntz 25+ years ago. Con artists find those talking points real easy to master because they are so widely used and so predictable.

That make you an easy sucker for a fair to middling con man or woman.

Another thing.
There used to be a B&CB Merit Agency and a Merit Test that SC state employees actually had to pass to get a job. With every agency doing their own hiring LIKE THE DEIFIED PRIVATE SECTOR there is simply no longer a bottom beneath which an employee cannot fall. They can crawl out of the sewer and be hired.
In the name of “reorganization” we have killed a meritocracy in favor of cronyism.
How many states go backwards like that?

Several agencies hire a lot of people who officially require certain technical or specialized degrees, for example engineers at DOT.

I wonder if all of them really have them, or if the good-old-boy system has corrupted that safeguard too.

Sen. Malloy is the one controlling this agency and he is also the hold up in merging the Department of Corrections and SCPPPS. His stance is based on the color of the director of SCPPPS.
