News flash: The fox likes guarding the hen house. Who could have guessed ????? LOL
Anyone here old enough to remember when “Show us your papers!” was the catchphrase used to describe totalitarian regimes that were an anathema to ‘Murrican ideals?

“The people of South Carolina deserve better than this.”
Well, considering that they are the ones who choose, tolerate, and re-elect the corrupt, then no, they don’t…
Until “outsiders” review the ethical issues of those in elected office, Judges are appointed by a process outside of the legislative process, and full disclosure of potential conflicts of interest is required of all our elected officials; South Carolina will continue to be the worst performing state in ethical practices.
Ethical Politician…oxymoron.
“The version of H.3945 debated this month
in the Senate had a section requiring disclosure of income sources, but
not the amounts received from those sources — information vital to
assessing whether a lawmaker has a conflict of interest.”
A dollar amount determines conflict of interest? What is that amount?
Any ethics bill propped up by our legislature should be highly suspect.
If the shady dealer offers a low price, read the fine print.
This site is very topical and/or it’s ignorance-based. Not very pertinent or realistic.
Anyway: Much better reads on http://scdigest.blogspot.com/
Dude, give it up.
Why is this so difficult? Here is my proposal. Drop the Senate Ethics Committee. Drop the House Ethics Committee. Reformulate/amend the SC Ethics Committee (1991 Ethics Act) to have rotating seats of 15 SC County Sheriffs. There are 46 County Sheriffs. Each year, 8 seats in the reformulated/amended make up of the SC Ethics Committee is rotated out by installing 8 more County Sheriffs. You have 15 permanent seats on the SC Ethics Commission. Every year, you rotate 8 seats. Any complaints of wrong doing is sent to the SC Ethics Committee for 15 County Sheriffs to review. Meetings can be held in Columbia using closed circuit ETV hook ups for Sheriffs who can’t get to Columbia. Or they can use their squad cars to drive to Columbia. Or use their helicopters even the state planes. If they find criminal behaviors, ask SLED for an investigation. Send the SLED report to the SC Attorney General for prosecution. Other than that, complaints are heard by 15 County Sheriffs where they determine if complaints are civil (assess fines) or criminal (SLED report/AG prosecution). Problem solved.
SC Sheriffs? Have you seen/heard how many of our Sheriff’s have been in trouble lately?
Thats the funniest damn thingIve heard in awhile.The County Sheriffs?
Hell theyre one of the few groups that can make the Legislature look like paragons of virtue!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
For that opinion, you deserve a “Cannon slap”.
Very funny. The SC County Sheriff is a duly elected Constitutional Officer. Give them a 12k bump in pay to babysit the General Assembly.
Real ethics reform is tossing every single member of the house and senate into a cesspool. Otherwise, its all a waste of time. All they do is rewrite in different words, but its the same old same old. Investigation must be done by a board of 24 members from the public sector with NO political ties. Can’t anyone understand we are dealing with a criminal enterprise here?????
SC Ethics=Lift the rug higher and sweep faster!
