Hopefully this donation didn’t come from Jeremy Brunner

“All you need to counterfit money (or LSD) is an inkjet printer and a laptop, trust me.”

South Dakota Secretary of State Chris Nelson got a surprise in the mail.

An anonymous donor sent $66 in cash accompanied with a handwritten note that said it was to help with the state debt.  Nelson took the letter and cash next door to Gov. Mike Rounds, who is struggling to propose a balanced state budget in the face of declining revenues.

Rounds jokes that his recent speeches explaining the budget problem must be paying off.  Nelson says someone obviously has heard about the budget problems and decided to try to help out.

Rounds, Nelson and state Treasurer Vern Larson say they do not remember receiving such an anonymous donation previously.  The secretary of state says the money will be placed into the state’s general treasury.

I’m surprised that Rounds didn’t take it and wipe his ass with it.
