Since Sally started running for his second term I noticed that outward racism and racist remarks seem to be more out in the open, then I started to see it seep into the dialogue of National politicos, then podcasts and now even in small government policy.
Pretty crazy you would do this to discourage (the only candidate running) from running, who happens to be black and has oodles of law enforcement experience (not sure what his record is? Maybe that will come out in the campaign?) And heck, the current pay isn’t even that great! Then to cut it by $30K a year! Wow. Were you wearing hoods when you voted on this? ‘Pretty obvious to me they tryin’ to run em outta town, yah see.’
Ironically, he would probably be the best damn Sheriff the county has ever had. He has tons of experience and is in his prime, who wouldn’t want that? Maybe this is why he doesn’t have challengers? Did you ever think of that?
It reminds me of the black mayor of Mitchell, SD. He was one of the most popular mayor’s they ever had. I think he did a brief national TV interview talking about it, and he said something clever about how he doesn’t feel black, he just feels South Dakotan (I think he was born and raised in Mitchell).
Don’t let your hate blind you Turner County Commissioners.
I can’t remember his name, but a young comedian was on SNL right after Trump won in ’16 and he said the biggest problem with Trump is that he has empowered the the lower case kkk. AND, indeed, he has.
And to think… someone made this movie 52 years ago
The next movie: ‘South Dakota Burning’
Leonard “Bud” Williams was a great mayor and a decent human being. I gladly voted for him twice. The people of Mitchell loved him and he loved Mitchell. Has an elementary school named after him. And he was born in Mitchell in 1918.
Yep, the name “Leonard ‘Bud’ Williams” just sounds like a winner, doesn’t it? AND, have you ever noticed that anyone named “Bud” is always well-liked? In fact, it sounds like the name of a famous baseball player or something… “Yep, I still remember the time during the World Series game of ’53, when Bud Williams hit that ball so far, that …… ” …. AND, although Shakespeare once questioned what is in a name, I still say a name matters, because do any of you remember when Minnesotans used to chant, “More Bud, Less Steckel,” in reference to the wishes of many Minnesotans’ wants to bring back Bud Grant as their Vikings coach? ….. Yep, there you go again 🙂 #ThisBudIsForYou!
Really, who couldn’t love a “Bud?” …..:
