Not for Rudy
Interesting how the local FF’s fall all over Rudy while his previous cities FF’s don’t support him. Can’t figure how the gun lovin’, a women & a man=marriage, and save the unborn child types can support Rudy just because of his leadership after 911. Anybody wondered how many of the support Rudy FF’s drove taxpayer funded vehicles or were on-duty for the rally? They best brush up on the Hatch Act. And what’s with the SC Firefighter’s Association, another group supported by FF’s funds or tax dollars through dues doing in making an endorsement?

Guess you don’t understand UNION politics, bud.
And since when has the Hatch Act ever been enforced against a STATE Fire Fighters group?
Not for Rudy
Oh, I understand union politics. Been there done that. Pay your dues, get little in return. SC is a right to work state. About the Hatch Act? How many of those represented entities raise monies for charitable purposes under a 501(c)3? Shaky ground. Anybody ever read the Ethics Act or thier counties policy on campaign activities?
Not for Rudy
My apologies for missed sentences. Hatch Act provisons apply to those dealing with Federal grants and has ramifications to those applying for and administering grants. The 501(c)3 rules are fairly clear.
