I don’t think I’m going to be watching the Darline Ralph drama Tuesday. I am really hoping to see Rosalyn S Hicks win massively over Joe Carreon in the town of Salley, SC in Aiken county. Which this is a non partisan seat, based on Joseph Carreon’s FB he may not have the ability to be non partisan.

A South Carolina nonprofit’s entire budget was smaller than a used car. The state has appropriated it $15M. I read 460 pages of tax returns and documents and put them all together in a fun pdf. So you can read them easily. Full investigation calltoactsouthernstyle.substack.com/p/one-item-i...

I don't know why anyone would select a nonprofit with a financial footprint smaller than the cost of a used car to handle even the first $2.4 million, or why they kept getting more and more and more
