And yeah, fucking everything is named for him, but to be fair much of the time it's because he secured the funding to make it happen. Man was corrupt as hell, but he did a lot of good for the state. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago* I live in Charleston, nice to meet you. Yeah he wasn't a pleasant man but nobody can deny what he accomplished. Even compared to him our politics is a total shitshow now. I do like the mayor, she's pretty good for a Democrat. permalink fedilink source parent
