Former Belle Fourche Mayor Todd Keller Pleads Guilty

By -
Since I'd written a bit on this story a while back, I should follow up on the whole sad mess.

As reported in the Black Hills Pioneer, former Belle Fourche Mayor Todd Keller pled guilty to assaulting his wife - a charge which prematurely ended his second term of office as mayor of that city. Just a snippet from the article:
Kellor then stipulated to a paragraph in the probable cause affidavit filed with the 4th Circuit Court describing the incident relating to the aggravated assault charge.

In that paragraph, Kellers wife Jill describes an incident in which Keller squeezed her throat to the point she had difficulty breathing, he lit matches and put them out on her tongue and when Keller sprayed her whole body and face with Lysol and threw lit matches at her telling her he was going to light her on fire.

As the father of four daughters I hope this perverts wife divorces him and is awarded all of their assets. She should also be awarded a portion of all his future earnings to help pay for the counciling she will probably have to have.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on
