Thanks Mark Hammond!
I want to thank Mark Hammond for taking his lunch hour Friday last week to say hello to the quarterly meeting of the PPSC - Palmetto Partnership for Safety and Coordination - a cooperative statewide organization of those involved in coordinating utilties and construction efforts, to reduce damages, increase safety, reduce the time of construction operations, and improve the quality of service of utilities.The time Mark spent welcoming the organization to Columbia and updating us on what is going on in his office was greatly appreciated.
Mark has done a good job of building upon the improvements Jim Miles made in the office, and let's hope the Legislature will allow the voters to continue judging Mark's record for years to come - and that they'll add responsibilities, as well as the funding to carry them out, to his office.
He needs to be embroiled in a sex scandal, DUI arrest, talk about corvettes, diss the Midlands, or something like that.
Come on Mark, go out there and get fun ... we need someone new to talk and joke about.
Sort of sums of politics today.
