I think the Treasurer is going to take care of Christie before he gets here. It is clear Treasurer Loftis does not like big government, influence peddling pol’s like Chris Christie, and I am with him 100% on that score.

My favorite 1984 fact is how the CIA bought rights to the movie so they could change the ending to something a bit more palpable to them and their bosses for mass consumption.

This is the way it’s done in the big cities up north of you all. And has been for more than a century and a half.

We will not hear a peep from the unions about this either unless a few wild-eyed members make a stink.

Teddy Roosevelt tried and failed to clear those decks of the scum and stink of political patronage … and Woodrow Wilson’s “progressive” Fascists co-opted his plans as their own with the covert understanding that only republicans would ever get caught at these push me/pull you payoff games.

The Feds will not tarnish That Fat Boy, unless he gets too close to the throne. New Jersey AG will probably not even make a snide statement. …

(I am heartened to see that these deeds are not over looked by at least a few in SC g’ment … I would bet that there is more to come. [thumbs up] ;-}

The bridge gate thing is hanging over the Fat Man’s head like the Sword of Damocles.

Your point about the constant co-opting of platforms is well done. Every gov’t cheerleader, regardless of the “R” or “D” stripe, fails to account for the fact that their brilliant, idea/plan will never make it through the process without major changes….and hence become worse than if it had never been passed to start.

Chris Christie represents the big dollars in government and Loftis represents the little dollars. Christie raises millions and loves the chase of big money, Loftis hates asking for money and funds most of his activity our of his own pocket. I am pleased Loftis is speaking up and hope people are listening because we don’t need more fat cats in office.

“Republicans, as a party are sick of losers and Americans are sick of failure and malaise.
The media, moderates, and liberals may celebrate as if Jeb Bush has already won, but don’t count on him to be around by Nov. 2016.
His zenith will have come, and burned out before the next presidential election. And any amount of money and establishment backing will not change that.
We are ailing as a nation, and using the same old remedies is not the answer.
Give us the right candidate, and we can begin to fix this broken country. But do not give us Bush, or any other moderate establishment candidate. He hasn’t a chance. ”

You must be absolutely out of your minds, FITS. This is yet another paid-fluff advertisement. Loftis wants to avoid conflict of interest? How about croneyism of his own? He took millions from the state retirement fund and gave it to his buddy. Sadly, the only statewide elected official lately with any balls is Eckstrom, who was the only one to vote against bailing out SC State. As for Loftis, he voted FOR it.

State retiree December 18, 2014 at 12:57 pm

This is actually quite ironic. Curt cuts a fraternity brother in on $2,000,000 but has the gall and political stupidity of pointing his finger at someone else. The PEBA board and Art Bjontegard have a provision in their budjet to explore the Bank of NY settlement in which ANY state retiree knows that he/she were screwed. The original firm handling the suit were professional in these matters. Curts frat brother had no back ground but received about 4 times the amount received by Christie’s wife for doing nothing.

Proper grammar would be “also” not “too” you idiot. We’ll see what happens after Art and PEBA follow the money. As far as the RSIC is concerned; they have been investigated by several bodies including a forenic accounting firm after which they were apologized to publically by a special Senate Committee. All in public record and can be viewed online. By the way, they had nothing to do with the BONY settlement and in fact were told by Loftis that it was basically none of their business. Oddly enough, he was correct. He and his office had full responsibility.

Curtis is a piece of $h!t December 28, 2014 at 7:52 pm

Why is no one investigating all the illegal money transfers taking place in the office of state treasurer? And why was there no conflict of interest when Curtis managed to get his personal attorney friend a couple million off of a state deal or when Curtis’ prior chief of staff was the father of Curtis’ business partner at home pest control? Or his new chief of staff just happens to be the daughter of long time family friends? Oh, because our “honest” state treasurer is exempt from what he calls others out on? Why has no one bothered to pull budget info from that office, especially payroll, and expose the truth about how he is “saving” taxpayer money. Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. And what a deceitful little squat of a man he is.
