2009 Good Riddance!

Besides the fact that Governor Moose Drool didn’t get elected VP, politically 2009 sucked. Bush and his ilk tanked the economy and left Obama two failing wars and mountains of debt. And it didn’t get much better locally, the City council voted 5-4 to raise retail taxes in one of the worst recessions in 60 [...]

South Dakotans prefer openness? Yah think?

I hope judge Caldwell and Roger Hunt take a good hard look at this survey;
By a 3-to-1 ratio, South Dakotans say campaign finance disclosure laws, such as the one state Rep. Roger Hunt skirted in 2006, provide valuable information for voters. The minority say those laws violate a donor’s right to free speech.

Platting fees way under prediction and November sales way down from 2008

As you can see the city now is down -4.1% from last year. I suspect that number may rise a little in December because of Christmas sales, but not much.
