Eric Bikas, who represents District 26 in the South Carolina House, which covers parts of Greenville and Pickens Counties, claims he was not paid for legislative sessions he did not attend. The Nerve reported on Thursday that Bikas was paid more than $12,500 in salary and expenses, even though he missed the bulk of the legislative term.
Patch . At the time, Bikas attributed his absences to a variety of factors, from a rift with House Speaker Bobby Harrell, to the inability to run the restaurant he owns and to the fact his district had been drawn out of existence.
The story made national news.
When contacted by Patch about whether he had been paid this legislative term, Bikas, responding via email, said that the allegation about his pay was, "False."
Bikas said that he would have to sign in as being present in order to receive pay. He elaborated, saying his absences, were "relating to the growth of my business (which IS my income). I did not receive pay for the work that I did not do at the State House."
I think it is very funny that he had so much love and support from so many "good" people, particularly in the republican party leadership, because he is such a "decent, honest, Christian man that OWNED two businesses at 19". Of course, he didn't live in the district, didn't own any businesses, lied like a dope fiend, and best of all...ran for office with outstanding charges against him. The list is longer but, who has the time? Patch, If you want to do some good, drag out all the people that helped Bikas get elected and spank them in the middle of Market Square. Any fool should know that a 23 year old is too immature for office, especially this boy. Start with whoever gave him money to run!!!!
Send the business to Chic-fil-a, they deserve the business.
Then he started talking big about being conservative and being pro-gun etc.. Well...the military and all the veterans, being people that are not too cowardly to serve, are truly why we have those gun rights, property rights and the rule of law... all the foundations of conservativism! It is a sad, sickening testament when Bikas and all the other stuffed suit RINO wannabe conservatives we have in SC politics, particularly in PC, keep talking about those rights, but they would never...truly have never...stood forward to defend them. Mrs Hunt the people that trusted and voted for this liar got what they deserved....and still are: nothing!
