You scratch my back I’ll scratch yours
As I suspected the owner of the company that has the servicing contract for the school laptop program made individual contributions to Rounds’ governor campaigns in 2000 and twice in 2006:

The owner of this company also sat on the advisory committee that helped organize the program:

SD Dept. of Education press release

Is there anything illegal about this. NO, not at all. But it does make one suspicious why Rounds has been pushing to save this program? Doesn’t it? But when has he ever been concerned about ethics? His secretary of education says it is about the kids. Is it really about the kids?

I’m wondering how long it will take for our supposed 4th Estate to connect the dots?
Title V on it’s way to President’s desk
The Medicare bill containing a one year extension of Title V has just cleared the Senate.
The bill was already approved by the House, so the one year extension of Title V now goes to the President for signature.
The President had threatened to veto the bill (because of concerns about changes to the Medicare program, unrelated to Title V), but the bill garnered veto proof margins in both the House and the Senate. Â It is not clear at this point what President Bush will do with the bill, but we should know more soon.
7-9-08. The day the senate shredded the 4th Amendment
My blogger buddy Ken thinks wiping your butt with the 4th amendment is just fine. Those who would sacrifice freedom for a little security deserve neither. The terrorists succeeded on 9-11 because the airline industry failed, and the intelligence agencies didn’t have enough smarts to warn the president about terrorists who were taking lessons on how to take-off but not to land. It had nothing to do with cellphones and the internets.
Laptop anyone?
I have found evidence of a connection between the laptop program and a campaign contributor. Huge link! Once I verify one last source I will post the info.
Did we know this all along?
