RC Weekly News: Schwiesow, Katus have Different views on 6
If that isn't the "duh" statement of the year, I don't know what is.

The Rapid City Weekly news is doing a series of articles on candidates. And in this one, reporter Lana Bradstream reports that Elli Schwiesow and Tom Katus might have have a few differences:

The race between Democrat Tom Katus and Republican Elli Schwiesow for the District 32 Senate seat is being closely watched across the state as a clue to the direction state politics is headed.

Schwiesow, 58, a politician, pro-life advocate and volunteer counselor at the Black Hills Crisis Pregnancy Center, is a wife, mother, grandmother and activist. This is Schwiesow’s second time running. She lost the a primary two years ago to state Sen. Stan Adelstein but beat him a rematch this June..

and..

Schwiesow and Katus have a big difference other than their political affiliation. Schwiesow is an advocate for Referred Law 6 and Katus is opposed to it. “How can we draw businesses and scientists in with that law?” Katus asked.

and...

Katus was in the state spotlight this summer when he offered to step aside if Adelstein would run in his place. Adelstein considered the offer and then chose to endorse Katus, who said he represents a “moderate majority” in the district and across the state.

Another difference is Schwiesow's support for repealing video lottery.

People need to demand that she say what taxes she wants to raise to make up the $112 million/year from video lottery.

Schwiesow is also supporting Amendment D, the dumbest idea to come along in years.

Even Jerry Apa, one Napoli's biggest supporters (and one of the few that still supports him) said that "the property tax system is broken, but I don't think that Amendment D is the answer".

Elli will vote as she is told to vote. She is a follower who will simply vote the party line.

Hey geniuses, how can we NOT draw scientists and businesses in with that law? The more people we have the more employees and businesses we need, and the more kids to go to college to become scientists. Ellie looks really good next to this guy tomkat.

I was playing poker with Jerry Apa not long ago, and he siad that anyone who votes against Amendment D is stupid.

While I don't believe I can go that far, I shall be voting for "D".

Why should my assessments continue to rise when some guy comes in a buys property for 6.8 million next to mine. Let them pay the taxes on his purchase price. Nothing equal with the system we have now.

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(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...
