The Gargoyle Leader interviewed District 12 House candidates today.

I think Greg Kniffen knows what he is talking about;

Share your reasons for running for the Legislature. I chose to run for the state House because I felt the issues concerning South Dakota were not being addressed adequately; Too much time during our short legislative session is spent on moral issues that end up dividing our state. We need to work on issues that can really make a difference to our citizens.

But Manny Steele has some ideas all his own;

Share your reasons for running for the Legislature; I want to be an active part of the decision-making process that creates the laws of our state. These decisions affect everyone in South Dakota, including my children and grandchildren. Part of my Christian walk is being a servant to others, and that is my goal.

Hey, Manny! What does your Christianity have to do with being a legislator? As a legislator you are expected to follow the State and U.S. Constitution first. I get so tired of lawmakers injecting their religion into legislating.
