$3 per Signature? 3 Initiated Measures. Who Could it be?
Is this for currently circulated measures, or are these new ones we can expect on the Ballot? (From today's Rapid City Journal Classifieds) Enquiring minds want to know.
Why should we be surprised?
BIG hat tip to SD Watch who notes that a play has been developed based on the writings of Leonard Peltier:
A play about convicted murderer Leonard Peltier? Whether it is good, bad, or indifferent, I don’t see it playing in South Dakota any time soon. Maybe we should all see it, whatever our views on Peltier’s guilt or innocence, but man, this is going to reopen some major wounds in our state.Go read it here (with a youtube clip).
Yuck. Why should we be surprised about this? "Murderabilia," or the fascination regarding the art and ramblings of convicted killers has been a sick underground trend for some time now. I'd just add this to the pile. To me, it's no more than wanting one of John Wayne Gacy's clown pictures.
Somehow, I doubt the play is going to document what Peltier was convicted for. The killing of FBI agents Coler and Williams from fatal wounds to the head delivered by a high-powered rifle at contact range.

You could always call Larry at the number listed and ask him. For the price of a phone call you could keep your loyal readers informed.
Did you find this yourself, or was it a tip someone else pointed your way? I'll give you credit PP you really do eat and breath this stuff. I usually just throw the classifieds away.
There is a slogan in there someplace "SDWC we'll go to any lengths to find the hot SD political news for our readers." What wouldn't you do? Where do you draw the line? Would you look in a box? Would you look under a fox? Would you look for them Mr. PP? Would you take a cross state car ride with Frank Kloucek? I bet you could sweet talk some interesting stories out of him.
Thanks again for giving us political junkies another fix. Now here's a tip for you. I talked to alot of insiders on the abortion issue this past weekend at the McGovern Day event. I got the feeling no decision had yet been made on whether or not to refer the ban to a vote.
