Why did SOS state Gant hire Sue Roust

Besides the breaking story of Pat Miller taking over for Pat Powers in the SOS’s office (Governor Miller’s 2nd wife), he also hired former Minnehaha county auditor Sue Roust as a temp employee. Stay tuned.

The City Council’s Budget Analyst did something. Woot! Woot!
I have been waiting for David Bixler’s big day!
He made this nice little presentation;Â davidsbigpresentation
I was a bit confused by this chart. So we eliminated a part-time person (that apparently didn’t have any job duties) and full-time assistant clerk and replaced them with two full-time people that are essentially picking up former city clerk, Debra Owen’s duties.
But as long as those numbers stay the same who cares what Debra Owen did? Right?
Poetry Club with Charles Luden
There’s a fly on my coffee cup rim.
He’s looking my way I think.
It’s hard to tell with those faceted eyes.
He probably doesn’t view me as a friend.
That’s both our losses.

Maybe someone should read SE Fair Manager Scott Wick the US Constitution
First he stopped people from petitioning their government on the fair grounds (which are owned by the people petitioning the government) now he wants to fine bands for using cuss words (a clear violation of 1st Amendment rights).
Not sure what country Wick is from, but he doesn’t sound like he is from America.
Sure, cuss words and pesky petition gatherers can be annoying, but guess what, they have rights, the US constitution guarantees these rights.
It reminds me of something Lucinda Williams said about one of her songs a few years back in concert, she was going to perform the song on the ‘Today’ show, and they asked her to censor some parts of the song (it is about masturbation, and other stuff). She told them she was going to perform the song ‘as is’ or not at all. This was of course about 60 seconds before air. She performed the song ‘as is’ and she said this, “And guess what? No one died, and no one got hurt.”
