Geezus. This is par for the course in terms of what Republicans have to offer to help alleviate the suffering going on around here during this God awful recession depression:
Two South Carolina legislators say state employees shouldn’t have to answer the phone with Gov. Nikki Haley’s mandated cheery greeting unless it’s truly a great day in South Carolina.Democratic state Reps. John Richard King and Wendell Gilliard have filed legislation saying no state agency can force its employees to answer the phone with, “It’s a great day in South Carolina,” as long as state unemployment is 5 percent or higher. Their bill also would prohibit requiring the greeting as long as all South Carolinians don’t have health insurance.At a September meeting, Haley ordered her Cabinet agencies to embrace the greeting, saying it could help change the mood of state government.A Haley spokesman says the Republican governor stands by the greeting.
Bravo to those Democrats. Great way to make a point.
And Nikki, you gotta work way harder. What a joke.
