Too often people in power see themselves as above criticism. Perhaps that explains why a recent opinion piece regarding S.C. Club for Growth’s 2009 legislative scorecards struck such a nerve. A few follow-up letters defending the status quo and mischaracterizing our work to defend taxpayers later appeared in these pages. As the group’s executive director, I feel compelled to write and set the record straight.
South Carolina has serious problems that need serious solutions. Unemployment is rampant, special interests have too much influence in Columbia, and our state’s finances are a mess. Who is to blame? Unfortunately, we remain as one of the last legislatively controlled states; therefore legislators deserve much of the “credit” for our current situation.
