As we all suspected, Noem raised gobs of money when Trump came for his (private) visit in which SF taxpayers had to dole out $29K for security;
Kristi Noem’s fundraiser featuring President Donald Trump raked in $518,780, according to a new campaign finance report.
Quite the donor list. Number one donor, a person who has made millions from government subsidies and special exemptions to sell a fuel that takes food out of hungry mouths. A very ‘small investment’ for the returns he has been granted.
The four max contributors were Jeff Broin, of Dell Rapids, who is CEO and founder of Broin LLC; Thomas Everist, of the Everist Co. in Sioux Falls (Everist and Broin actually gave $25,000 and had to be issued $2,000 refunds); Michael Dalsin, of Sioux Falls, owner of Dalsin Inc.; and Eldon Roth, of Dakota Dunes, who is CEO of Beef Products Inc.
Jeff got a refund? LOL. Oh, that’s because of this little rule;
The use of a joint fundraising committee for the event allowed contributors to write one check for up to $23,000, even though state law caps individual contributions to statewide candidates at $4,000.
Poor Kristi, she had to form a PAC so she could get more than $4,000 in individual contributions. The next time you hear Kristi, or any Republican for that matter in this state running for office say they are looking out for you, just read the donor list attached to this story. That is who they are really looking out for.
I found this list disturbing as well.
Ethanol would not be around were it not for subsidies. Don’t burn it in winter. Condensation from alcohol causes gas line freeze. It can’t be transported via pipeline. You’ll not see it in the south because truck transport costs more than the product. It’s a good con for what to do with excess corn production. However, you get worse gas mileage such that regular fuel is the same MPG cost. Eventually, the ethanol crooks will disappear. Meanwhile, it’s BS.
