SOUTH CAROLINA DSS CHIEF RESIGNS FROM CABINET

The Post and Courier has reported that South Carolina Department of Social Services Chief Kim Aydlette has resigned her position. The paper notes that Aydlette "took charge of DSS just as the state hit its hardest budget times in decades and the agency faced millions in fines for not having a computerized child support enforcement system in place." What the paper fails to mention is that there has been little or no progress made in installing a computerized child support tracking system and that both the fines and the arrearages continue to mount at an alarming rate.

Comments:
She came in under a cloud and is leaving under one. So what did she do while there?
 
Interestingly, Governor Sanford apparently believes both that she did a good job and that the situation can be improved by appointing a non-attorney in her position. We do not think she did much of anything--which was the point of the post. Additionally we believe that an attorney—or someone with a legal background—might be the best person to help craft legislation to bring about the needed reforms in Family Court.
