Media are reporting that Gov. McMaster may ask Brian Lamkin, Inspector General for the State of South Carolina, to investigate the Richland 2 School District because of the chaos (my word) that has become so public.
I welcome such an investigation.
However, in reading the OIG's webpages and, in particular, the section "File a Complaint" this message is prominent.
This is why the passage and signing of S.202 is so important. It will broaded the powers of the Inspector General. Urge your state legislators to complete work on S.202 and pass it without delay. The Bill is in Conference Committee now (House: Bernstein (D), Caskey (R), Collins (R); Senate: Hembree (R), Young (R), Hutto(D))
Complaints we can investigate.
Where we can help:
The Inspector General can only investigate allegations of fraud, waste, abuse, mismanagement, misconduct, or wrongdoing involving South Carolina State government agencies and their employees in the Executive Branch of State Government (includes public colleges and universities).
We cannot investigate allegations involving the following:
- Judicial Branch (courts, judges, and certain regulatory agencies),
- State Legislature (senators and representatives and their staffs)
- local governments (city and county governments, police departments, sheriff departments, school districts, etc.)
- Federal government agencies and their employees
- private businesses
- individuals (who are not state government employees)

OK, so what does Gov. McMaster know that the I.G. doesn't know.
Will the OIG be able to investigate Teresa Holmes and Amelia Mckie for not even being legitimate members of the school board?
For usurping public office?
\For acting as officers of the school board? McKie for her $57,000 debt to the South Carolina Ethics Commission?
Holmes for failing to open an investigation into the January 25, 2022 boardroom incident?
Holmes, Baron Davis and Claxton for refusing my request to attend the hearing of my grievance against the superintendent?
Holmes and B. Davis for refusing to address my complaint about the improper expansion of AR KI-R in my Trespass Notice to apply to ALL Richland 2 properties and not just R2i2?
Holmes for failing to open an investigation in the incident in the April 28, 2022 executive session (and determine whether it was even a legal executive session)?
