Matthew Wollman State Legislature

Love can be blinding

I was a little surprised when I heard Wollmann’s GF speaking out, but I have often felt love blinds people sometime. While her post was the typical ‘the news got it wrong’ mantra when it comes to an elected official doing something wrong, she does get a few things wrong herself;

The way Mathew strongly and generously stood up and confessed his fault was the strongest thing I have ever seen someone do.

. . . but the main thing that will always scar me is the falsehood of KSFY, or in other words, you. 

First off, Mathew didn’t admit this in 2015, and he didn’t admit it in 2016. So when he finally did it admit it, he lied first, on camera, then took it back. So yes, he did confess, but not in the normal fashion. And while I will agree the local TV stations often get things wrong, the words of an individual in front of a running camera doesn’t lie. This wasn’t due to the marvelous skills of the reporter or even a reporter manipulating the video, it was the words of Mr. Wollman himself that sunk the ship. Truth hurts sometimes especially when it is about someone you love.

Ethics Matthew Wollman State Funding State Legislature

I wonder how the SD GOP Leadership’s boots felt up Wollmann’s ass over the weekend?

My butt feels a lot better then it did on Saturday and Sunday. Man! Mark and Dennis wear some big shoes!

Make no mistake, Mr. Wollmann cut and run just as soon as he could pull the boots out of his ass;

In a statement released Monday House leaders say, “The South Dakota State legislature, like any other organization, is comprised of human beings.  Consequently, we will experience human failure and imperfection.  Every legislator has an obligation to refrain from behavior unbecoming to the Legislature and inconsistent with maintaining the public’s trust.”

House leaders also say they will be meeting over the coming weeks with legislators, current interns and legislative staff to discuss any improvements they can make in the legislator and employee training.

Nice (BS) statement. Try to quickly sweep this under the rug before people start asking real questions, like how this has been going on since the 1960’s, or why a governor’s cabinet member was let go? The SD GOP is quick to bury their own when they are trying to cover up there scandalous institution. Besides, how can you justify repealing an ethics law the voters passed when you are being unethical yourself? Watch a bunch of scum.
