I get a little nervous when Beavis and Butthead (Powers and Gant) cook up new ideas;
Gant had said that board members would be able to review proposed bills at the Nov. 29 meeting but changed his mind.
In a compromise, Gant emailed the seven bills to board members Tuesday evening, when they were notified of the Thursday meeting.
Gee, Jason, thanks for the head’s up. It seems with your technology master, Powers, you would have been able to figure out how to email the board your change suggestions well in advance. Guess not. Must have something to hide.
Gant’s style is a departure from the way his predecessor, Chris Nelson, handled proposed legislation with the board.
Nelson presented the bills in the fall and asked for input and the board’s blessing.
“I don’t know whether that was something Chris Nelson did because he wanted some additional input or wanted us involved, or it was something that we were required to do,†said board member Chris Madsen on Wednesday.
Exactly, why even have a board if King Gant is going to do whatever he wants to. Heh, Heh, you said Gant.
This is proably just the way the did things in Geddes. You know what they say – Good enough for Geddes, good enough for the state.

When the job is done, Nelson has never had to look back for a Trail of Tears. I can only hope Jason will stand up to the task.
Chris Nelson was the consummate gentleman, smart, hard worker who always put SD’s interests first. The republicants screwed up big time when they side-lined him for the dust queen.
John2, I agree. I often suggested Chris ran as an independent for the US congressional seat or Governor.
