One of Wilson’s lynch pins in his argument for his buddies: that being a member of the House Legislative Caucus isn’t an “official office”.
Here’s a list of one of the Caucus’s:
http://schousegop.org/members/
Is there a member there who isn’t holding an “official office”?
Alan Wilson is a douchebag.
It’s linchpin, one word, no “y.” And in the context used by you, it’s singular, not plural.
corrected- thank you
Deja vu, anyone?
lol, did someone else make the same mistake on “linchpin”?
It’s not that holders of public office in South Carolina meet the lowest possible standards, it’s that there are no standards. It’s impossible to possess anything lower than zero.
It’s even sadder that they themselves get to decide what the ethics standards “are”.
Did someone say PROBE? Me first!!!
I’m not claiming nothing shady is going on, but if all we are talking about is paying a consulting firm for consulting work, then you’re just score settling.
I would gladly pay my family firm to do that work if they were legitimately one of the best in the state Like them or not, they are considered capable.
Finding moral ground when working for an immoral organization(gov’t) is difficult, but in this case it seems like even if you’re family’s firm is the “best” in any given arena, it would simply make sense to use the 2nd best firm if nothing else but to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
I seem to remember that can be an actual legal standard under certain situations from time to time. But I’m not an attorney, maybe someone else can chime in who is.
I’m not going to dig it up. But, there is a SC law about any public official/employee and personal and/family financial gain as a result of the government employment being illegal.
Wasn’t there a Low Country legislator who recently ‘retired’ – Chip Limehouse? – who did some kind of campaign related business for fellow legislators, too?
Personally, I just don’t see how any organization or govt can be immoral because like they say on Star Trek, they aren’t/can’t be sentient beings. Now, the people in an organization or govt are another case.
Is the Mafia immoral?
I don’t see that it could be unless the members are committing immoral acts.
But, I just don’t know about the Mafia’s policies and procedures. You reckon they have a manual?
It’s a pretty standardized “business model”, it’s almost identical to the governments. Only the voting pool is smaller.
Thing is, without other people’s money- they couldn’t ever exist.
If they get that money voluntarily, it’s ok. But, I assure you that you can find people that are forced to give both the Mafia and the government money that don’t want to- and that makes them immoral. (theft)
“Of course the Quinn-controlled attorney
general’s office would say it isn’t a violation,” one critic of the
ruling told us. “This proves that (Wilson) has a massive conflict of
interest.”

Sounds like something creepy, bow-tied, incompetent, intellectually challenged effeminate at best, Wes Donohue would say. If not, it’s from some other douchebag scumbag political consultant who’d love to have all of that money, in return for their “services”.
David Pascoe is forced to take responsibility from Alan Wilson for not investigating and potentially prosecuting politicians associated with potential corruption tied back to Quinn and Associates.
You have already lost ninety five percent of South Carolinians because it involves more than two parties, does not involve sex and/or incest, the rebel flag or associated memorabilia, hunting dogs, pickup trucks, etc.
Good luck with this one.
Alan rebutted on Wednesday…well at least my pappy Joe was in the know and wasn’t found to be lying
You know—he didn’t stab SC conservatives by sticking his head up RINOs Boehner and Paul Ryan
And at least he said Hell no we won’t rip down the flag of patriots by NOT letting YOU get to vote
And he didn’t give the most incompetent presiDENT in history fast-track and try to make you a goat
Yep…he and mammy refused that taxpayer-PAID vacation to Hawaii—their most modest move to date
And of course we KNOW you’ll be slow and reelect Joe and me the next chance you get…NO…WAIT !!!
I don’t expect much law enforcement or justice from elected officials – AGs, sheriffs, prosecutors – involved in ‘criminal justice’ anymore.
But, it’s worse when the appointed ones and the career employees, like Bill Nettles or the local FBI, don’t seem particularly interested either.
We just don’t hardly stand a chance of getting rid of the corruption in this state.
The DSS computer fiasco spans decades and half a billion in cost. The Investment Commission has terrible performance and has cost us billions. DEHC has information systems so back-ass-wards that dams go un-inspected, and raw sewage is dumped into the river.
And you think any elected or appointed officials give a crap?
There is ZERO accountability in SC state government. Not a trace.
Any and all screwups gets hidden or excuses made and accepted.
Alan Wilson has done his job to protect Jean Toal as a favor to Jakie Knotts and Jahue Moore. He’s pathetic.
Wilson has shown his true colors. His career in politics is over. He shot himself in the head with this.
This is not Alan wilson’s first time involving himself in cases where there is a clear conflict. Take the case of corrupt former lexington town councilman Danny fraizer and former chief of police of south Congaree Jason Amodio. Wilson went to parties with them and lived beside Danny Frazier in woodcreek subdivision. And after they were indicted, Wilson kept one charge each from them in his office. All the while, Danny continued to tell people from the beginning that he would not serve one day in jail and that is exactly what happen.
Bobby Harrell was singled out .This opinion will only encourage more corruption in S.C .This. was probably a plea deal for Wilsons ethic charges being dropped .We need a Clean Sweep in S.C.of these good ole boys.
