George’s top issues

  1. Citizen legislators: Our founders intended citizens , not political pros, lawyers, lobbyists, or people with gobs of money, to represent the people.
  2. Consolidation and reform of bureaucracies: Must simplify IRS 74,000 pages of code and a socialized medical program that had 2,000+ pages and was passed without members being able to read it first
  3. Continuity of governance: Require all government employees – including elected officials – to be subject to the laws they pass (including health care and retirement/pension provisions)
  4. Constitutional integrity: Return power to the states where citizens have access to their representatives who live with them

 

County Commission Janet Brekke Jeff Barth Minnehaha County SF City Council Sioux Falls

Did Minnehaha County Commissioner Barth get sidestepped?

(FF: 31:00) The County Commissioners each are appointed to different departments. One of departments under Barth’s direction is Emergency Management. There has been a behind the scenes movement to move Emergency Management to a different location in which Barth had no knowledge of. Listen to Commissioner Beninga try to dig himself out of a hole.

LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES

As you may have saw a few weeks ago, Sioux Falls City Councilor Brekke was troubled about how the council came up with their legislative priorities. Commissioner Barth has also expressed that he wasn’t to happy about the fact that Council Chair Erickson and Commission Chair Heiberger cooked this up together without input from other councilors and commissioners. Seems leadership is going to some people’s heads pretty quick.

SF School District Sioux Falls Taxes

Vote NO on School Bond ‘Mystery’ group making Robocalls

I have been trying to figure out who the group is behind a ‘VOTE NO’ robocalls on the school bond issue.

I have no idea.

My guess is it is a anti-tax group with possible ties to Americans for Prosperity.

If anyone can put me in touch with them that would be great. I would like to help them anyway possible (unless of course they are an anti-public education group).
