While I commend I.L. for filing the complaint, I don’t think it really matters. This issue won’t be addressed until after the election. Huether will just use the complaint to point out the negativity of the opposition.

At the meeting, strategy will be discussed and people will be given the opportunity to volunteer for various tasks. Mr. Barclay has declared: “Building an expensive events center during a time of economic crisis when the current Arena is rarely, if ever filled is irresponsible. The events center is a want and not a need.â€
I saw this online today in the Argus Leader. Should be an interesting story.
Get used to it. I have always contended that the rich in SD are using the recession to pay less in wages while lining their pockets. They say the economy is doing good when they want you to buy their goods and services but when you ask for a raise, they say it is going poorly. Just look at the numbers;
South Dakota’s per capita personal income grew by 3.5 percent from 2009 to 2010, according to data recently released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Sounds great right? But look at these numbers;
For example, Nesiba said, median household income in South Dakota has dropped 11.5 percent from 2008 to 2010, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures.
Basically the working stiffs are taking it in the shorts and the rich taking your shorts.
That’s a change from $51,600 in 2008 to $45,669 last year, Nesiba said.
“Even if the average per capita income in South Dakota is going up, those gains must be concentrated at the top,” he said. “What we’re seeing is that South Dakota per capita personal income is being boosted by higher farm incomes, but because of layoffs, lower wages and fewer hours, the median household income is actually falling.”
