The Ervin campaign should have fun with her recent appointment of Mike Campbell as an interim workers’ compensation commissioner. Ervin, an attorney, held that position prior to becoming a circuit judge and fully understands what the job entails. His wife is one of the state’s finest workers’ compensation claimants’ attorneys. Mike Campbell is not an attorney, has no medical background, and, as far as I know, has limited experience in claims handling or insurance. His appointment seems to be purely political. The job pays well (116K per year), and includes such fringe benefits as state health insurance, state retirement, and use of a state car.
The truth is, Mr Ervin, the legislature controls road repair revenues. In fact, two people in the General Assembly (legislature) control the budget and all committee appointments. Even with you, Vince, or Michael as Governor, anything you all say or bring to the table will be laughed at. Your intentions, as this author sees it, is to run for a statewide office then go after the old Hollings Senate seat in 2016. Simply spending a half million dollars to hurt Michael Haley’s chance at a second term is not credible.
