‘She Ain’t Getting Sh*t’: Lowcountry Officials Accused Of FOIA Violations, Cover-Up
A local resident’s lawsuit claims county officials conspired to destroy public records — and a sitting judge backs her up.

Gee, the concluding statement: “if the allegations are true, they point to a disturbing reality: public officials using their office to retaliate against a constituent—and then engaging in a coordinated cover-up to hide the evidence” seems to ring a bell in what Trump and his sycophants are currently carrying out in Washington.
I noticed the article author and the woman listed in the lawsuit both have the same name of “Wood” in their name. Can any verify if it is just coincidence or are they related? If related, then possibly a bias opinion?
No, they are not related. Wood is a fairly common name all over the country. Nothing to see here.

This brazen conduct by public servants is very serious. Upon its face, some of these acts by the same appear to be felonies under a SC State Statute, a statute that many lawyers do not even know exist.
I am not going to post that statute because of the spying eyes. I will wait to see what happens. Many do know that SC has no statute of limitations for criminal offenses. You can charge and prosecute for crimes committed even 50 years or more ago.
In the final analysis of what I read and understand, some of these people need to go not to jail, but to prison. They obviously have over inflated egos and are on power trips.
Laws should have authority over men and women. Not men and women over laws.
This has been a problem in Jasper County for decades. The good old boys are alive and well.
Wonder what axe Ford was grinding ?
FOIA is a great tool for the government to use to obfuscate, delay and or lie by omission. Another tactic is overcharging for gathering the information or putting a huge price tag on recovering the information before they even know how long it will take to do so.
Most of the time when government wants to “crack down” on law breakers they will increase the penalties for each infraction. I suggest we increase the breach of FOIA to be a minimum of three years in prison and a fine of $5,000 for each day in no compliance. If that does not work maybe cut a finger off each time and fire them when they can’t wave anymore.
What do expect from an Attorney that went to Prison for being Involved with Drug Smuggling? Losing his License to Practice Law, Then The Buster Murdaugh and Others Helping him to Be Reinstated?? He is Also an Attorney that helps Developers Push Through their Plans!! Same stuff in Beaufort County!!
Well said Thomas, the truth needs to be heard….everyone knows it and is too damn scared to speak it!
