Being a state employee of South Carolina, I can’t tell you how many times Gov. Stanford’s name comes up with budget issues. How this guy became governor amazes me with his blatant disregard for the state. South Carolina ranks in the bottom when it comes to education and only behind Michigan in leading the nation in unemployment. How can a state rich in natural resources and geography can be so poor on so many levels? When you compare South Carolina to neighboring states like North Carolina and Georgia, it becomes painfully obvious how backwards the palmetto state is in regards to new technology and lacking diversity economically, culturally and ethnically. I believe this is a blessing for the state as we need new leadership and direction into the 21st century. This stiff is better off taking a “permanent” vacation.
