YOU ARE BEING WATCHED …

By FITSNEWS  ||  A Midlands, S.C. school district will soon be using a “covert observation vehicle” to spy on its students and teachers, sources familiar with the plan tell FITS.  The vehicle will be used by Lexington-Richland School District 5 – a bureaucracy this website has repeatedly exposed in the past for its fiscal mismanagement.

Details regarding the vehicle are sketchy, but we’re told a pair of district employees debuted it at a recent gathering of first responders.

In fact, we’re told a city councilman from Columbia, S.C. who attended the “demonstration” of the vehicle was jealous his local district didn’t have one.

Great … so these things are going to be popping up all over the state now …

Lexington-Richland is ostensibly one of the Palmetto State’s best government-run education bureaucracies (you know, as opposed to one of its worst).  Of course its leaders have a long history of misleading the public … and its bureaucracy has run into trouble for its alleged mistreatment of students with disabilities.

The district also has a long history of maintaining massive stockpiles of surplus cash … which we’re presuming they are tapping to pay for this new “covert observation vehicle.”

Anyway, needless to say this is the very last think our government-run schools need to be wasting money on given their chronic failure to educate our children with steadily increasing piles of taxpayer cash.

Lexington District 5 is an out of control Money Pit!

Paying bureaucrats to spy on fellow bureaucrats

Kinda like paying someone to fuck those who are fucking you

Wonder how long it will take for those being fucked to hire someone to fuck the fuckers fucking them

Of course when that happens the fuckers who got fucked for fucking the fuckers who were fucking off will hire legal fuckers to fuck the fuckers who hired the fuckers in the first place to fuck the unsuspecting fuckers

Classic Case of a Cluster Fuck if there was ever one

“Wonder how long it will take for those being fucked to hire someone to fuck the fuckers fucking them”

As long as it takes to appropriate more tax money, so not that long.

No doubt it was that wormy bastard, Runyan.

Uh, that would be the taxpayers’ money. One would think several taxpayers would question this outlay.

(Here in Taxifornia the cameras are pointed at the streets around the schools, looking for pervs, pedophiles and pushers … And finding them too.)

You mean they put a camera on their activity bus?
What would they do with a “covert observation vehicle” except ride around the block?

SCDHHS at 1801 Main St is fully miked and has cameras through out. Word is that Tony Keck and/or John Supra could zoom on whatever there was to be heard or seen inside Jefferson Square whenever they wanted. Of course, they’re both gone now…

Sic, if you want to dig into what could be a great story, you need to dig into the degree State Medicaid has pursued “privatization.”. The degree of what could appear too be kickbacks that happened under Keck’s regime is a nightmare. Perception is reality.

So are the offices of a certain constitutional officer. All done in the name of “security.” Employees are aware of the cams, but only a handful know the cams are miked and that the feed is recorded. Those cams live-feed to monitors on the desks of highly-paid staff. Your tax dollars at work, ladies and gents.

Does no one ever wonder how and why private ambulance companies started popping up on every corner during the Sanford Administration? …While a concerted effort began to destroy the Regional Transportation Authorities that used to take Medicaid patients to MD appointments began?
Does no one wonder why Targeted Case Management Medicaid money to fund front line worker positions in DSS Foster Care and Adult Protective Services went away from DSS during the Sanford administration?
Where was the Medicaid money diverted to starting during the Sanford Administration?

This wacko post is from the same sic(k) willie Voucher Clown who brought us claims that a Midlands’ elected official has a “Strom problem.”

Still waiting for proof and facts, sic(k) willie.

And, claims of a mysterious Sanfraud laptop that sic(k) wiliie said had a map to a “holy grail” of corruption, Then sic(k) said the laptop was probably dropped in a river.

Still waiting for proof and facts, sic(k) willie.

And, claims of Sanfraud digging holes at his family plantation in the Low Country. Sic(k) never gave details of his veiled comments about a “poor little black girl” and something he characterized as a mystery settlement.

Still waiting sic(k) willie.

Still waiting for proof and facts sic(k) willie.

Sic(k) willie has never produced on his willie scams.

He just slings mud and hopes people will believe him.

Thankfully, everyone knows he is fully of shit(ake) mushrooms.
