SC Club for Growth PAC today announced its “Anti Reform Annette” education effort, intended to highlight the legislative record of Summerville’s Annette Young. Representative Young recently earned an “F” grade on SC Club for Growth’s “2009 Legislative Scorecard” (view scorecards) as a result of her voting record in the South Carolina House. Today’s campaign is the first in a series against low-scoring, status quo legislators.

Sponsored by SC Club for Growth PAC,  the currently Internet-only ad (view ad) highlights Annette Young’s successful effort in 2009 to defeat much-needed reforms at South Carolina’s Employment Security Commission (ESC).

On April 29, 2009, SC House members had a chance to pass important reforms to the ESC. Instead, Annette Young led a group of supposed Republicans and liberal Democrats to send H. 3442 back to committee, effectively killing the bill. The final vote was 56 to 54.

Why does it matter that Annette Young led the effort and cast the deciding vote against reform at an agency the Post and Courier later called a “train wreck” and a “debacle” for its “staggering incompetence”? Learn more by watching the video to at http://www.AntiReformAnnette.com

SC Club for Growth PAC is also seeking contributions to broadcast a version of the ad on Summerville television stations.  Individuals may contribute to the effort at http://www.AntiReformAnnette.com/contribute/

Full text of the Internet ad:

“Bailouts, boondoggles and bad decisions…government continues to fail us in Washington and in Columbia.

Yet out of touch politicians like Summerville’s Annette Young just don’t get it.

Some lawmakers recently tried to reform the state’s Employment Security Commission – an agency the media has called a “train wreck” and a “debacle” for its “staggering incompetence.”

But Annette Young led a group of liberal Democrats to protect the status-quo and she even cast the deciding vote against reform.

Cronyism? Corruption? Or just incompetence? Whatever it is, Anti-Reform Annette should feel less secure about her OWN job in Columbia.”
