Senator Davis at best you are part of the problem in Columbia. Just another liberal/lawyer/legislator. None of you work for the voters and taxpayers of SC you are derelict in your duties of representation and only serve special interests and big business. The SCFC is exposing the bs that goes on in the statehouse. Here’s a clue. We are tired of it.
Hell yeah! I don’t agree with everything Sen. Davis supports, but this column is spot on.
RINO
OUTSTANDING Senator Davis. You are spot on!
Senator Davis and his ilk are THE problem with our legislature. More worried about pleasing lobbyists and enriching themselves than representing the interests of their constituents. I wonder what his net worth was prior to entering politics as opposed to now. Also of note is that the sheriffs were also opposed to this legislation but I guess be would say they are part of the problem. If he’s so straightforward why not give sled the authority to investigate ethics violations by legislators instead of policing themselves. It’s telling that criminal investigations like lost trust and more recently the lobbyists and politicians who were charged including the speaker of the house. Most people forget that the associates of those charged are still in the state house. One can only hope that maybe the justice department will get their priorities in order and start investigating real public corruption again, who knows maybe they can actually do something to make a difference. Amazing that solicitor Pascoe actually tried to make headway into the corruption and was stymied by our Supreme Court and AG and then was blacklisted by Graham and Tim Scott in his bid to be the US Attorney. I’m sure it’s because they feared he would start to clean up corruption in Columbia instead we ended up with a US attorney who goes out of her way to prosecute absolutely nothing
Watching Republicans get eaten by the Tea Party, MAGA, “Freedom” fools they created is hilarious.
The Freedom Caucus is the Quinndom under new management. RJ May pumps out the propaganda for them and THIS website gives them way too much oxygen.
Senator Davis, you said a mouthful!! LOL Concerning quarantines, etc., I understand where it would be necessary to have certain people be quarantined if exposed to a dangerous disease such as Tuberculosis. We are being inundated with illegal migrants coming into the USA who are bringing in diseases. Tuberculosis is one of those diseases.
That being said, I am going to be blunt concerning how DHEC handled COVID. They indiscriminately passed on all the lies being told to us by the CDC. I especially see how bad it was when I compare Florida’s Surgeon General (probably the equivalent to a Health Czar). He has been WONDERFUL!!! He had a little bit of a learning curve right at first, but quickly learned all the facts concerning COVID and gave Florida citizens freedom. That was NOT done here in South Carolina. So, I became VERY leery about the idea of a Health Czar after seeing how ridiculous DHEC was concerning COVID. I would call it: fear mongering in order to help Big Pharma!! And,we could now be approaching a time where the WHO will try to rule over us which should NOT be allowed.
By the way, I never took a COVID shot because of religious reasons. And, I am so glad I didn’t after learning more about the MRNA shots. I also haven’t had a flu shot in almost 20 years. I take a natural supplement that has worked for me in building up my immune system to the point I haven’t even had a cold, COVID or the flu in those 20 years.
What exactly has the GOP done for this state in their 30-year plus reign in this state? Our roads are a disgrace. Our public schools are worse. Insurance costs have skyrocketed. And let’s not talk about the “ethics” of these jokers. They have none. Now the GOP are eating their own. Has the average citizen benefitted from any of this crap? Nope. The rich have gotten richer and the middle class has all but vanished in this state. And that’s exactly what they want. It’s my home state and my family has been here since the 1600’s. But seriously, what are we supposed to be proud of? What has the GOP ever done for anyone other than themselves? What do they offer the average voter? Anyone?
Well said Senator Davis. As a recently retired hospital executive who spent 40 years working with DHEC in one capacity or another, your efforts to restructure DHEC in a meaningful way are greatly appreciated. I believe your work will benefit all South Carolinians. It will ensure that our state will focus on the right things related to health and our citizens will have a more streamlined system of care. Robby Kerr understands the system’s strengths and weaknesses better than anyone and I have complete faith that with him and you and the others who have worked so hard to create a better system, we will all be the better for it!
Healthcare is a complicated issue and when political leaders make decisions based on partial information, the system will never be successful in delivering the services so desperately needed in our state.
