Should have been fired immediately. This is a gross lack of leadership, and his failure to take responsibility frustrates me. I do not want this to be an appointed position. I want more people to run for it and allow the citizens of SC the opportunity to actually chose their Comptroller, and not have him elected by default.

If it’s an elected position, he can’t be “fired immediately…” which way do you want it?

Impeachment would be faster but the point still stands. What do you want, a comptroller who is responsible to the people or the governor?

The truth is that Eckstrom has done a great job during his tenure, this anomaly aside.

I bet he had a “deep sense of gratitude” to the taxpayers all right. Big crap-eating grin and everything.

So, what about all the officials who. knew. about this before the last election and didn’t disclose to the public? McMaster being one along with some other higher ups in our state government

Shush, we don’t want to imply we want general accountability. We just want to show we are making someone accountable for something, so the public does not look at the rest of us.
