Longer than ...

The legislation to add a seventh School Board trustee in Pickens County is unconstitutional as presented to the Senate.

How?
A majority of  the House Delegation failed to vote for its passage onto the SC senate (a requirement for local legislation) AND  it unconstitutionally has a political representative in an office longer than ANY elected position in the state (5 years). The position (according to the bill) would be appointed for five years then move to an elected position.

View the bill and the "5 year appointed position" clause here:


As our new governor is also our former Attorney General, it should be clear that this bill is flawed and should be rejected.
