Another Republican busted in the act of socialist hypocrisy

Yeah, but, but, Steffy’s dad took money to

I saw this yesterday and got a good chuckle out of it;

State Rep. Kristi Noem, R-Castlewood, is a partner in the Racota Valley Ranch, which received more than $2.7 million in subsidies between 1995 and 2006, according to figures compiled by the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization that compiles farm subsidy data. As of 2006, Noem had a 16.9 percent ownership stake in Racota Valley.

Even if you do the rough math, that is about $41,000 a year, directly to Kristi. Some South Dakotans don’t even make that in a year and she was getting a check from the Feds.

Isn’t it ironic everytime Repblicans like Noem wanna get a dig in on Dems, they use the word ‘socialist’. Next time you wanna go down that road, Kristi, take a good hard look in the freaking mirror.

It seems ‘Justice’ doesn’t exist in SF under the Home Rule Charter

It has been over 5 months since Dan Daily vs. the City of Sioux Falls closing arguments were heard, and still no verdict. You would think with the wealth of experience that a judge like Caldwell has, a verdict could be hammered out in an afternoon. Guess not. My prediction all along was that this was dragged out (for over 3 years now) because #1 – Dan has won the case #2 – Heads will roll in the current city administration if the verdict is released before the April 13th city election.

What’s at stake? Who could get in trouble?

First off let’s start with the minor players;

Bill Peterson, who wrote the unconstitutional charter is running for mayor, can you imagine the implications to his campaign if a judge says the charter is unconstitutional, he would be toast (well, he really is anyway, since he has been all over the map lately)

Then there’s former SD Supreme Court Judge, city attorney, ‘Smilin’ Bob Admundson. Can you imagine how this might tarnish his reputation, even though he will be crawling back into retirement after his stint with Munson.

Then there is assistant(?) city attorney Shawn Tornow, who has obstructed this case all along the way, saying everything from he has the sniffles to his dog ate his evidence.

And let’s not forget the code enforcement officer who got this ball rolling, who was mysteriously let go from the highway patrol after the Janklow/Scott accident investigation.

Then there is Munson himself, who probably wants to leave office on a good note, of some kind. 🙂

Caldwell, stop dragging your feet, you are fooling no one. Issue your verdict already.
