LARRY MARTIN REFUSES TO LET STATE SENATE VOTE ON SCANDAL-SCARRED CABINET DIRECTOR

S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley’s top ally in the State Senate blocked a vote of no confidence in the governor’s embattled welfare czarina this week – the latest drama in a major storm swirling around the governor’s administration.

Former Democrat Larry Martin (RINO-Pickens) used a procedural move to block the attempted vote – which would have likely resulted in a formal rebuke of Lillian Koller, Haley’s scandal-scarred director of the S.C. Department of Social Services (SCDSS).

Lawmakers of both parties – including another one of Haley’s top allies – have called on the governor to fire Koller in the wake of multiple scandals plaguing this agency. In fact Koller has offered to resign … twice.

Why won’t Haley  accept her resignation?

Good question …

For starters, Koller is a political appointee – tapped by Haley at the behest of the Republican Governors Association. In case you’ve been away from your television set for a few months, that’s the group which is bankrolling a barrage of negative ads against Democratic State Senator Vincent Sheheen, Haley’s 2014 gubernatorial rival.

Three Haley cabinet directors have already resigned in disgrace – Abraham Turner at the S.C. Department of Workforce, Jim Etter at the S.C. Department of Revenue and Robert St. Onge of the S.C. Department of Transportation.

Koller ought to be the fourth …

“It’s a shame we’re in this situation,” S.C. Sen. Shane Martin (R-Spartanburg) said in the wake of the blocked vote. “If I was in charge and had a director do the things she’s done – I’d have already gotten rid of her. This isn’t partisan, it’s about the children.”

Absolutely …

At this point, Haley’s refusal to remove Koller from her position is simply incomprehensible … and in addition to the human cost, it’s starting do real damage to the governor politically.

UPDATE – Our associate opinion editor Amy Lazenby – who contributed to this report – still has the best column out there on why Haley ought to get rid of Koller.

CIC: I tend to look at reality, not ignorance and hatred from unfit leftists, and always-losing Liberal-Tarians, like FITS.

Look at the SC job numbers. Despite a Horrible national economy, SC is actually attracting some jobs. And we’re poised to explode w/ investment, once Obama is dispatched.

That said: Dumping Haley gives us Sheheen. That is TOTALLY unacceptable.

While I’d like a more Conservative governor than Haley, she is adequate right now (like Bush propped us Sanford) because she is anti-Obama.

I could be wrong, nah. May 31, 2014 at 8:59 am

“In fact Koller has offered to resign … twice.
Why won’t Haley accept her resignation?

Plans are for bikers to assemble in the parking lot of the Lexington County Administration Complex then proceed to Columbia and ride around the State House until they get tired or Mayor T-Bone tries to run them off

The Feds let our Veterans die (death panel), passed Affordable Care Act and already prohibit some treatments and decide who gets what care (death panel).
Haley and her DSS allow children (the most helpless and innocent amoung us) to be brutilized, tortured and murdered, time and agian (death panel).
Hitler made similiar decisions, so did Stalin (death camps).
Veterans cost money, poor children cost money, retirees cost money, Social Security recepients cost money, people on pensions cost money!
The Federal Government has run up debt it cannot pay, the State has debt it cannot pay.
They are solving it the easy way. If they did not have so many Vets, poor and retirees, they would not have to pay out so much in entitlements and could drasticly cut costs! All they have to do is rid themselves of the groups collecting these funds.
They came for the Jews and we said nothing, then the Pols and we did nothing, then the Hungarians, and on and on, until they came for me and no one was left to say or do anything.
The poor are a budren, the old and sick are a burden, the pensioners are a burden, the ets are a burden.
The Gove must see us as throw away paper plates. Once we have given and given, fought their wars, policed their streets, run their offices, taught their children, given and given of our toils, we are merely a burden.

If FITS thinks Koller is his Gov-Killer issue..he is $#!t out of luck…

Irresponsible, murderous parents, spawned by the liberal-democrat Welfare system is the hideous culprit. Government NEVER has been the answer. It’s personal responsibility.

And electing Sheheen will just exacerbate the level of irresponsibility of democrat voters…

Us South Carolinians care about these PRECIOUS children, a lot more than we do a corrupt, moral-less democrat political party… If you embolden democrats by electing more, that will just endanger more kids…

I don’t care for some of the kinky shit I come across on the Web

More often than not I receive a link from a friend with the intro – you won’t believe this shit – and true enough I have trouble believing what I view

Take the time when these two fellas were on a “sub” and one had his arm, up to his shoulder, in the other fella’s rear – still not sure on that one

Then there was the fella who put his whole head up the twat of a very mature woman – not just the top of his head or up to his nose – the bottom of his chin and both ears disappeared up the abyss – did not stay tuned to see if he came out alive or dead

Point being there is something going on here between the Gypsy Queen Cockroach and cockroach Koller that ain’t adding up

In the past Directors/Managers/Executives in charge of Agencies/Programs that had life and death consequences for citizens, especially the young, had a much shorter leash than their contemporaries who were in charge of stamping license plates

Usually these Directors only had to take one torpedo before they were run aground onto the reef

Yep, one of these two, Nikki and Lillian, or maybe both have lost either an arm or a head

Yuck it up Larry Piss Ant Martin supporting Haley ….

Officials: DSS employee charged with DUI in state vehicle and the next Haley scandal rolls on……keep um coming oh Great HALEY!!!

GREENVILLE, SC (FOX Carolina) –

A Department of Social Services employee was arrested on the charge of driving under the influence on Wednesday.

Trooper
Bill Rhyne with Highway Patrol said at 1:42 a.m. Stacia Lomax, 43 of
Greenville, was stopped for crossing the center line on US 25.

Rhyne
said a trooper conducted a field sobriety test and determined she was
under the influence. He said she refused a breath test at the law
enforcement center.

“I can confirm that she was an employee
at the time of the arrest but her current employment status is
undetermined,” Marilyn Matheus, spokesperson for DSS.

DSS confirmed Lomax was in a state issued vehicle at the time of her arrest.

Matheus said any further action in terms of her employment would be determined through human resources.

There was also one caught red-handed and arrested for drugs a few months back but it was swept under the rug and he didn’t even get a slap on the wrist.

Lillian Koller – heart and soul of the DSS – clearly doesnt have heart or a soul.

The sight of this ball headed son of a bitch laughing and Haley sitting her fat ass in the tax payer funded mansion and limo is sicking…

http://www.wistv.com/story/25646271/state-review-panel-says-dss-program-allowed-parents-convicted-of-killing-son-to-avoid-scrutiny

or anyone to get up here and argue that these two did not act with
extreme indifference to human life is absurd,” Fifth Judicial Circuit
Assistant Solicitor Luck Campbell told the jury Wednesday.

“The system” Campbell told the jury “failed Robert.”

That system included a state Department of Social Services program called Community Based Prevention Services.

The program is designed to help families in low risk situations to voluntarily get services without direct DSS involvement.

Instead, members of the South Carolina Citizen Review Panels for
Child Protective Services said the DSS program allowed the boy’s father
Antonio and mother Courtney Thompson to avoid state scrutiny.

And they said it made the 4-year-old developmentally disabled boy a
target for horrendous beatings, starvation and other abuses that
eventually took his life.

“I think there is a large failure within the system,” said Diana
Cannon, a member of the federally-mandated review group. “Obviously it
must have been in the assessment process because there was definitely a
history with the family and with DSS. And those red flags were either
missed or ignored.”

The review panel reports annually about policies, procedures, and
practices of the child protective services system and make
recommendations annually to the South Carolina Department of Social
Services.

In the most recent report, the head of the group said Robert “Rest in
peace. We will not forget you and we will continue our work to help
ensure children are safe.”

The review panel said Community Based Prevention Services was rolled
out too fast without considering that South Carolina already has an
overburdened system that sometimes fails to follow its own policies and
procedures.

The panel said the state needs to take action to fix this program sooner rather than later.

I’m friends with two families of modest means — both conservative Christians — who take in abused children under the DSS program, and both say DSS caseworkers AND DSS management behave like drunken sailors: irresponsibly and dangerously (read “life or death”) with the children.

These folks don’t read the newspapers but watch TV news and are outraged at Gov. Haley’s refusal to replace Koller — taking it personally. And they talk about it with their friends — in church twice a week, and socially. They’re on the “front lines” with the children and now call Haley “God’s enemy”. For them, this has become a single-issue situation in the upcoming gubernatorial election.

The longer this festers over the summer, the more church-goers are getting involved. “Haley has blood on her hands,” they say.

I bet the same people that cheer on Hillary and Michelle and Lois and Sebelius are behind the hate Nikki posts. You people set the standards of what corruption is based on your acceptance of Hillary, Michelle, Lerner, and Sebelius. Y’all have no street cred by not bashing Democrat women for corruption and moral discrepancies. Politicians have been given “unaccountability” largely from lack of Democrats punishing their own wrongdoers. It is that simple. When Republicans commit the same wrongs…no accountability is the order of the day as well. This is the world Democrats created…the world of anything goes. I do not like, but until Democrats severely punish their own we will have more Christies’, Metts’, Haley’s, Hillary’s, Lerner’s, more Obama’s, more Harrell’s, and much more of the same until Democrats punish Democrats. Republicans will fall in line fast if this would be the case. In the meantime, stfu y’all.

Come on, son. Since Richard Nixon, the GOP has been the party of ‘the ends justify the means’. Where do you think Lee Atwater came from, but that pit of moral excrement? Ends justify means – pretty much the definition of amorality and deep personal corruption, not to mention the bugaboo of the religious right – situational ethics.
Oh, and you do realize that not a single Democratic woman that you have named is an elected official like your darling Trikki and your examples of their corruption are – where? Do you think wives and appointee should be the only accountable women and elected women should get a pass?
Republicans will never fall in line with ethical, moral behavior because – like Mark Sanford – they claim God is already on their side and has forgiven them as they go sin more and more and more. Some God, that.

Back in 2012 Nikki Haley took time out from campaigning for Mitt Romney in states like Virginia and Florida to run to Pickens to endorse Larry Martin. Everybody knew that Obama had no chance getting South Carolina’s 9 electoral votes. That proves that she will be anybody’s honey for the right kind of money.
