GOVERNOR SANFORD NOW BEING PUBLICLY BLAMED FOR THE MESS AT DSS

According to The end of civility?:

[State Senator] McConnell criticized Sanford for being weak on job creation, a duty of the state Commerce Department, and for other failures of leadership.

“Recent experience with another Cabinet agency, the Department of Social Services, has proven that placing an agency under your direct supervision is hardly a pathway to success,” McConnell wrote.

“There are continuing problems with DSS which have cost our taxpayers nearly $80 million in fines paid to the federal government over the past decade, a fact you did not mention in your letter,” the letter stated.

McConnell was citing a long-unresolved problem with DSS’ computer system that oversees the state’s child-support system and has drawn federal fines.

As we have written before, we cannot say that we agree that the problems at DSS are solely the fault of Governor Sanford. However, we have to admit that his administration has had ample time to address the problems associated with the computer system as well as the associated problems of the New Hire Registry. Certainly, he has been made aware of these problems.
