Citizens for Open Government in the Sioux Empire point some questions towards Mayor Munson

By -
Click here for the latest release from the Citizens for Open Government in the Sioux Empire. A release just went out from them posing the following questions.
... COGSe also believes Munson's announcement and campaign manager Georgia Hanson's comments also raise a number of new concerns that the local media should investigate.

These concerns include:
  • When did consultants Kip Scott, Ron Williamson, and Ms Hanson receive their "win bonuses"?
  • Were the consultants issued 1099s?
  • When did the Munson campaign decide to give the "win bonuses"?
  • Why were they given so long after the end of the campaign?
  • Why were the "win bonuses" not reported in the campaign finance reports filed immediately after the election?
  • How did the Munson campaign accrue a $1,300 phone bill after the end of the 2002 campaign?
I have some observations on this whole thing that I'll post tonight after I'm home from work. Because the biggest question of all has yet to be answered. And that is...

How in the name of God did someone manage to squeeze that kind of cash out of a candidate for a mayoral race?

All great questions especially the 1099 question.

But for you, PP, the real question should be, where can I get a job like that?

(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...
