Just off the news wire..... Florence County Voter Registration director Michael Young will be indicted for embezzlement. It's a little different than your usual public official skimming money. Young was retired from the railroad (probbaly CSX), and he collected more than $40,000 in disability benefits from them, while working on the Voter Registration and Elections Commission Board , and having a voting machine consulting business - all at the same time. Young sure was busy......
I don't know Mr. Young. I dealt with Russell Barrett at the elections board when he was director. Barrett was a top notch guy, and he even won an honor as the best elections board director in the state. It looks like we took a step back with his successor. Sure, he didn't cheat taxpayers, but we need more honesty from our public officials.
