FULL TEXT OF BOHN V. KOLLER COMPLAINT--HAWAII FOOD STAMP CASE
Click here to view the full text of Bohn v. Koller, the Hawaii case that has apparently caused some concern about South Carolina Governor Haley's appointee for Director of DSS. While we believe that this matter should be taken seriously by the State of Hawaii, it is hardly something that should cause concern in South Carolina unless the General Assembly is planning to underfund DSS, thereby interfering with the ability of DSS to comply with federal mandates.
While this case should not be cause for panic in South Carolina, it does provide yet another reason that the South Carolina General Assembly should cease the practice of making DSS (and other state agencies) funnel money to NGO's for non-core, non-mandated programs when it is not complying with federal mandates such as--say it with us--creating a New Hire Reporting Registry.

This is the first time I have heard about this. Why isn't it covered and reported by any of the main stream media outlets?

You would have to ask the main stream media. According to recent reports, South Carolina's Department of Social Services is running a $28 Million deficit of which $10 Million is related to yearly federal fines and another $1.2 Million is related to a Legislative Proviso requiring DSS to fund sex education programs. However, we have seen little or nothing about this reported in the main stream media.
