You read it here first - Tim Rounds in the hunt for PUC
As I reported here last night, the Argus Leader confirmed this morning that Representative Tim Rounds is in the hunt for the Public Utilities Commission:
Representative Tim Rounds, R-Pierre, told Republican delegates in Watertown on Thursday night that he plans to run for the party's nomination for Public Utilities Commission.And, it appears that Krebs, Dykstra and most everyone else except Koskan is out. So, there's going to be a head to head battle between Koskan and Rounds.
Rounds, brother of Gov. Mike Rounds, made his intentions known to Randy Frederick, state party chairman.
"He's in the hunt," Frederick said. "He says he's definitely serious about it, and he's been talking to people here telling them his intentions. He also has people helping him at the convention."
Comments
If Tim's unemployed it's only because he can't serve in the house and have a state job too. Every other Rounds in Pierre has a state job.
Which Rounds family member will the governor appoint to replace his brother in the house?
I dare the republicans to nominate the rat. Dems will pick up the seat for sure.
Representatives and senators don't get paid hardly anything, it basically covers rent and food and maybe a little extra. Puc, Gov, AG, and those jobs pay good in SD.
Best choices for a GOP PUC candidate turn out to be a wingnut loon of the right who talks tech but poisons his logic with theology and ideology to the point of nonsense and riding the nepotism white horse...it's the Gov's brother.
Holy Blazing Saddles.
Wonder how the Democrats will screw it up.
How do you figure? what qualifications do any of the other PUC's have that Koskan doesn't?
anon 9:58
and the special interests are????? and when do they get this money? I haven't seen any special interest groups giving out money besides campaigns.......
I guess I don't get the slam, please elaborate.
