There are those who come out as Defenders Of The Gas Tax.
In such a manner that is questionable as to their reasoning.
And all I can think of, is that there is one other hat this man wears.
One that says that he’s these people’s god.
That website should present a huge chart showing the connections to each of his “hats” and their connections right down to the lowest of the ones wearing ‘beanies” –=– you know, similar to the way the Feds showed how the Mafia was organized. That might take the starch out of Leatherman’s shorts.
Um. That’s not starch. Take a whiff, you’ll see.

What is the grey thing in the photo?
Let sleeping dogs lie.
Just completed a drive from Spartanburg to Lancaster down SC 9. Some of the road was smooth, other parts had their fair share of potholes. Other parts felt like I was driving a boat on a choppy lake. What’s up with all the potholes on the south bound side of SC 9 going over the Catawba river? Whether your for increasing or leaving the gas tax alone that’s your decision. What I can tell you is that there are way too many miles of State roads that need to be rebuilt including the road beds. Something needs to be done sooner rather than later.
That we have serious issues with our roads, you are absolutely correct.
As many have already stated, I believe that the money to fix them is already there. These scumbag crooks like Leatherman are just out to feed their need for personal greed by these measures to raise gas taxes. You’d think these jerks would have enough money already but they always want more, more, and moar.
With the ground still water-logged in so many parts of the state, I do question the wisdom of trying to do anything beyond the temporary repairs they are currently doing. Will re-bedding and other major (and needed) repairs last? Will spending that money before the ground dries out be fruitful or serve a purpose?
I know what you say about the safety of roads is true. I know domething needs to be done, but I am curious if work done now will last.
I wish the idiots in Leatherman’s area would vote him out. This greedy old bastard is hurting the state and its citizens with every year hr remains in office.
That dog reminds me of Jake from Adventure Time.
Looks like the dog from The Oatmeal.
Looks like I was right: https://www.fitsnews.com/2016/01/31/anti-gas-tax-website-angers-liberal-state-house-leaders/ The pose is in there but his eyes are different.
I’ve never seen “The Oatmeal” before-
I only know Adventure Time because of my kids(1 specifically), every time I watch it with her I feel like I’m on a bad acid trip back in my college days.(well, I never dropped acid, but I have friends that did and freaked out…let’s say it was a bad bag of weed instead)
I could find Adventure Time entertaining during/after a joint, but those days are long behind me, unless SC legalizes it…which I doubt is going to happen in my lifetime.
They haven’t sorted out how they will siphon money from the tax revenue, yet. Give it a couple years.
It’s really a weird trip. When my daugher was little, she had some fairly weird TV, in addition to Blue’s Clues, which was pretty normal. There was Rocco’s Modern Life, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Hey Arnold!, stuff like that. But there was a coherent story and you could sort it out from the weird parts. What my grandkids watch … as you say, it’s like an acid trip, and not always a good one.
I had a soft spot for Ren & Stimpy even though I was a young adult at the time.
I also wonder about projects like the one that has been in progress for (way too) many months in the area of Leaphart Rd and Mineral Springs Rd in West Columbia. I wonder who is getting paid and how much to keep that clusterphuck dragging out as long as possible.
When is it supposed to be completed? Is there even a target date to complete it? When will the new stop lights there be un-bagged and turned on?
The way the crews didlefart around with this project and keep traffic flow impeded even worse than normal for that intersection is one of the reasons I question whether doing anything permanent before the soil has a chance to dry out is worth while. Projects are necessary to fix roads, but they are such a pain while they are in “progress”, especially ones such as this. We sure don’t want to spend forever (and the money) on one of these elephant pregnancy projects, only to have to re-do it a year or less down the road.
Governments at all levels will only be satisfied when we the people are 100% dependent?
Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms. ~ Aristotle
Kinda defeats the whole checks and balances thing doesn’t it.
Leatherman- “I am the checks and balance- Tis’ good to be king.”
Yes. He checks the balance of his bank accounts regularly, and finds what he finds to be very good indeed.
The State Senate, by its adopted rules, is a corrupt organization. 46 Senators were elected by their constituents to represent them, however, the first thing they do is adopt rules that give all the power to one or two people.
It is a repudiation of the premise of free elections. It relieves them of all accountability and makes it possible for them to collect contributions, manage their “special interest’ and walk with the swagger of privileged.
Vote the 46 out…every damned one of them. Don’t be fooled by the faux disgust some of them display, they are in on the fraud. They are all worthless pieces of crap.
Voting is a waste of time. Guy Fawkes, “the last man to enter Parliament with honest intentions”, had it right.
The site is good, as far as it goes. But, it left out:
The E.D. of Department of Transportation and the Director of State Fiscal Accountability Board have their salaries set by the Salary Oversight Commission, which Leatherman chairs. Be a Leatherman director, and you make more.
Leatherman approves the salaries of the senate staff. Be a Leatherman staffer and you make more.
He approves, as Finance Chairman, the budgets of all of these groups AND any government group that might “push-back” to his power, such as the Inspector General, the Attorney General, etc. Be a Leatherman guy and your agency gets more money.
There are more ways he exerts power, but breakfast is ready.
When you control the money you control everything. And no one can dispute that Leatherman controls the state’s money.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
The love of “other people’s money” is evil.
When Leatherman shuffles off the mortal coil, there’ll be nobody to take his place. Not another living soul in the State House has been able to amass that much power. Thus, many will rejoice. I will not. I take no pleasure in the death of any politician. There is no doubt his demise (or departure from the legislature before that inevitable event) will create an enormous power vacuum. Great changes will come. Not all of them to everyone’s liking. Perhaps not all of them for the good.
I respectfully disagree. Leatherman is good, but he is not the first.
Special interest, greed, lazy but ambitious politicians, an even lazier press, etc. all untie to create the “great one.” Until the rules of the Senate are substantially change, there will always be a “Leatherman.”
My point is that it took him many years to amass that power. Any pretender to his throne will have to be as long in the tooth as he before they’re as powerful. And first, he or she will have to beat shit out of any and all other pretenders to the throne.
little hen houses … little roosters // big hen houses … big roosters /// but not all hen houses are the same
Why yes I AM Hugh Leatherman and I DID rip down patriots’ flag WITHOUT letting you vote
But now it IS 2016 and my inside polling means my chance of reelection—yep–very remote !!!
It’s the Costal Conservation League and someone should let the Oatmeal website know they are in violation of copyright infringement.
I appreciate what they are trying to do, but the URL sucks (doesn’t get to the point) and the message gets really lost. Dana Beach probably thinks he is smart, but being smart loses the message impact.
Give it a C on issue advocacy.
You’re a glory hole.
It’s different enough not to be infringement. And given the fact that it is none by a non-profit for a good cause, it might be deemed fair use in any case.
That sort of minimalist modern cartoon style is one of several that have almost become generic in recent years.
Leatherman is one crooked mo fo. He has the state by the balls and is squeezing hard. If the people behind the website think this is going to phase Leatherman they are delusional.
Leatherman will be the President of Hell when he gets there, Lucifer is going to get the boot from the little digger!
