Corruption is illegal in America? When did this happen? Who knows this? If this is true, who snuck this into the rule book? Does South Dakota use this rule book? Does Sioux Falls count? Anybody let the Sioux Falls City Attorney and pseudo Ethics Board know anything about this?

So many questions and no answers even though the voters of South Dakota tried to do something about it last November when they voted overwhelmingly to begin the effort to open up the books for all to see. The Sioux Falls Democratic Forum put the Open Government efforts on the wall for all to see when they invited Represent South Dakota to address the crowd on January 13, 2017.

Doug Kronaizl and Mark Winegar of Represent SD brings a message of ethics and responsibility to reality for all to see.

We are in a time when those who are in power are struggling to shut out everyone else. We voters are stupid, gullible, uninformed and hoodwinked for demanding our “leaders” be open in all ways if they are chosen to be help us. Being an officeholders does not mean we give you the keys to the treasury to do as you please. It does not mean you are to take everything so the next officeholder has to start from scratch.

In the November vote, the voters said we do not fully trust our officeholders or as Saint Ronnie liked to say, “Trust but verify”.

7 Thoughts on “Ethics & Represent SD at Dem Forum (Jan 13, 2017)

  1. Commander are you running for congress against switcheroo dusty.

    If you’re Democrat, move to Minnesota. I accept much of the democrats forum but this representation is bar room comical. I’m not Republican because the only party in this state that represents people is Independent. Unfortunately, L Ron Huether changed to Independent. There’s not a formal process to kick him out so I’ll vote Independent except for him.

    How many days till the end of Huether? Let’s have cake and shots of tequila.

    I’m reminded of 1969 when Nixon ordered me back from the fishhook area of Cambodia. It was one inch from destroying North Vietnam base camp. Nixon, was corrupt and played politics over people. I lost respect for him but I have less respect for Huether. Count how many in city, county, and state governing capacity are veterans. The answer is zero.

    1. IM 22 hasn’t been ruled unconstitutional, no matter what disinformation you may come in contact with.
    2. Ms. Krebs “smoke and mirrors” Senate Bills (SB53 and SB54) are contrary to the voted will of the people. These bills are not replacements for IM22. They were written by the opposition to IM22 and are not for an independent ethics commission.

  6. Given the levels of corruption I’ve seen in SD I think it’s a miracle that the whole state hasn’t caved in already. I never thought a place could have so much corruption until we moved out here many years ago. It’s the order of the day here in SD and it’s not just the government, I see it in how people conduct themselves here. Is there any wonder as to why there are so many shady businesses here? When you have an economy based on loan sharking and BS finance rackets, should anyone be surprised at the graft and corruption that comes with it? You complain about Wall Street and Washington’s corruption; I’d rather deal with that than the rackets I’ve seen out here. And you depict South Dakota/Sioux Falls as a #1 place to live in? Is this community for real?

  7. Dido a… people her have been so disillusioned, they really have no idea what’s up from down!
