Today, the House and the Senate both passed the conference report on S.22, Sen. Sheheen’s government restructuring plan. Sen. Sheheen first introduced this bill in 2007. Sen. Sheheen released this statement:
“For nearly a decade, we’ve worked across the aisle to build a bipartisan coalition around my bill to overhaul state government and increase accountability. Today, South Carolinians have results.
“The conference report passed today requires the legislature to hold regular oversight hearings of state agencies to stop the major failures and cover-ups we’ve seen at the Department of Revenue after the hacking, at DHEC after the tuberculosis outbreak at a public school, and at DSS with the alarming rise of child deaths. This overhaul streamlines day-to-day management in the administration to help reduce costs and, most importantly, stops agencies from running up deficits and then asking taxpayers to pick up the bill.
“South Carolinians have had to wait long enough for the accountability they deserve from Governor Haley and her administration. I urge the Governor to sign my bill immediately.”

Vinny you better start talking to state employees soon if you want to be elected to Governor. Talk to the ones at her cabinet agencies, ask about how she has hired leadership people who have no place in these jobs and what they are doing to the few good state employees that are left. Start with DHEC, DEW, DPS, and you will be shocked at some of the things going on and how these agencies are understaffed and being mismanaged.
Or what?Youll Vote for Haley again!
No we all will be stuck with the witch and god knows what else will happen under her watch, hacking, selling us out to Georgia, DHEC scandel, DEW scandal….I could go on and on Haley s records speaks for itself and its horrible. Oh checked your credit and bank accounts lately?
While at it admit to the folks you were a delegate at the DNC when they booed the name of God. While there you voted to support Unions,you voted to overturn the right of a secret ballot,and you stood for Obamacare. Hang in there folks it will be a knock down drag out year!
Vinny, so long as you support Jean Toal, you have no credibility. We have proven to you repeatedly and beyond any reasonable doubt that she is corrupt, self-serving, vindictive and not a team player. It’s amusing to see you shout about restructuring when you continue to support, the same ole, same ole. Grow a pair and do the right thing, then we’ll talk.
Vince Sheheen…he’s a douche.

A good reason to vote “none of the above”,
So this puts the B&C divisions — like state HR — under the Gov? God that is scary.
