If you’re here because of that box on the op-ed page…

… that promised "other opinions, the chance to register your thoughts, plus video from Tommy Moore’s endorsement interview with The State’s editorial board," then you’re at the right place.

  • First, in case you haven’t read Tommy Moore’s op-ed piece that the box went with, "Why I left the Senate for the payday lending industry," please go do so.
  • Then, check out Warren Bolton’s column on Mr. Moore’s decision, which takes a decidedly different view.
  • Here’s a video clip from our editorial board’s endorsement interview with Mr. Moore, back when he was running for governor last year.
  • Here’s our endorsement of then-Sen. Moore. (Hey, you should have seen the other guy. Some choice.)
  • Here’s a release about, and a link to, an ETV interview with Mr. Moore after his announcement this week.
  • Check out the press release from Mr. Moore’s new employer, CFSA, announcing his new job.
  • Finally, here’s my own initial, rather visceral reaction to that news. Something you might find more interesting is the way some of my readers responded.

If you have thoughts of your own to share, or requests for further information or resources, this is the place.

    I would be interested to know two things:
    First, does ex-Senator Moore draw any “retirment” pay from the SC Senate?
    Second, what will be Mr. Moore’s salary for “protecting” lenders?
    Thank you, Polly Judd

    Yes, he will draw retirement. A lot of it, given his 27 years in the Senate. We were talking about that a day or two ago, but we’ve been so busy doing other stuff that no one has figured it up yet. OK, Cindi hasn’t figured it up yet; she’s the one who always explains that. I’ve kind of had her and Warren busy helping me with production stuff in Mike’s absence (he’ll be back on Tuesday!)
    But I want to know how much it is, too.
    I don’t know about his salary. Another thing I’d like to know.
