So, Did Anyone Miss Me?....

Sorry I didn't post for a couple days here. I was in Florence - I finally got up early enough to drive the 2 hrs and make it to church on time. I should find a church in Charleston, but there's something about going to your home church that's special. I stayed overnight and attended the Florence County GOP meeting. It was poorly attended ( about 15 people), but we did have a statewide candidate speak. It was Elizabeth Moffly. Who you ask? Well, she is running for Inez' old job as Sec. of Education. She is a business owner and mother from Mt. Pleasant, or as they say here, Mt. P. Being a fringe candidate myself, I always take an interest in trying to help the little guy, or lady. She read a prepared speech, which sounded more like a dissertation, for about 12 minutes. I've given my share of bad speeches, so I forgave her on that point, but we were on Strike One. She was much more comfortable just answering questions, so I decided to ask her the same questions that Chip asked me. 1. Should equity in funding be on a per student or dollar for dollar basis? She had said she was for equal funding, but would not really peg an answer on this. " some schools need more projects than others" . I thought this was an easy question..... Strike Two. 2. What do you think of the TERI program? " What is TERI?" I kid you not. Aside from Medicare, TERI is eating up the State budget worse than anything, and she didn't know what it was. Strike Three. I always try to encourage out of the loop people to run, but I can't support Mrs. Moffly. Being a mother and well off doesn't make you qualified for this job. Sorry.
