Nikki Haley put 14 year old daughter on state payroll

[RandySF]

Gov. Nikki Haley’s 14-year-old daughter having a summer job at the State House gift shop is a tad more unusual than some may have thought.

Haley’s daughter was, in fact, the only 14-year-old to hold a state job as of July 2012. And no 14-year-olds were employed by the state in either July 2011 or July 2010, according to data from the State Budget and Control Board.

However, assuming young Haley once again is employed by the state next summer – when she is 15 – she should find more company her age.

In 2012, the state employed four 15-year-olds. It also employed that same number in 2011 and 2010, according to the budget board, which provided the information in response to a request under the state’s open records law. (The budget board did not specify which state agency the teens worked for or what duties they performed.)
Haley’s daughter worked part-time at the gift shop this summer, helping customers and stocking shelves. The shop is run by the state Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism. That agency’s director is appointed by and reports to Haley.

1. NH just canned the head of Employment Security

and her #2 over similar actions.

This ended up working in my favor - the boss at the Labor Department was put in charge of DES as well, so that DES caseworkers work with Labor investigators now. I think they liked taking the skezeballs at Acme Choppers down a few notches.

2. I look forward to future speeches by her daughter

explaining how she got where she is by hardwork, not handouts - and how she grew up so poor she had to work at age 14.

3. +100. so tired of the silver spoon crowd and their horatio alger stories.

Some Haley critics said her daughter’s state job was an example of nepotism

some? she's the only 14-year old ever to get a paycheck there & it's only 'some'?

4. Anyone know how to find out her pay? nt

[Democat]

5. Anti-government, pro handouts for her family?

Where have we heard that before?

6. Doesn't she make enough off of the taxpayers

with her huge salary, free food, free cars, mansion, and so on? they have to steal crumbs as well?

When the fuck does the impeachment start?
