It was refreshing to hear a Republican and Democrat share their feelings on the upcoming session. Notice they both have reasonable answers to the problems we face and how those opinions are pretty similar. I have argued for a long time that Sioux Falls is somewhat an oasis from the rest of the state, dare I say even cosmopolitan when compared to other districts. It’s just too bad our city government can’t stop acting like lazy cavemen.
Be careful using the word “cosmopolitan”. In ’72, George Wallace claimed he lost the southern state of Florida, because it, too, was “cosmopolitan”. It’s code for the right.
And who are the crazies now? Deutsch, the anti-transgender legislator, voted with moderate Republicans and all of the Democrats to pass our new redistricting map. I’d say that future anti-transgender bills have the stain of more than just the typical crazies, if you ask me.
