Check out a chart of the Open and Honest Money trail
I had a reader send this over to me as one of the many thing flying around the state in the wake of "Vision-gate" as one person was trying to make heads or tails of how the money flowed. I think graphically like this, so it's a handy visual-aid.

Check out Kate Turnbow's article in the Capital Journal which states "While the mathematical discrepancy is an easy fix according to Enres, the tribal check he says is not so simple."
That's why the MSM is not reporting it. There's no connection to Billion.
However... they MSM should jump on a 750,000 contribution from one person - someone who wants to hide from people.
With our initiative process, you have to have trasparency. You have to have some protection against one person being able to buy an election or a constitutional amendment.
PP, I can't believe you condone this. Someone who talks about being open and honest, then you hide behind your partisan divide.
And the rest of you are guilty. I'm ashamed of my fellow Republicans. More and more, I'm feeling like my party has lost its conscience.
Come to think of it... I won't be in this party for long.
Are you saying M Mike is doing this "stuff", you know about it, and like it?
No, I have no knowledge of Rounds' campaign finances. I am saying that, apparently, Jack Billion is doing the same kind of stuff as Yes on 6. Obviously.
Connecting Billion to the Open Gov. ads is lying. Repsectfully, you are a liar. You have no proof.
On the other hand, your buddy ROGER HUNT shielded 750K from people who expect ballot initiatives to be forthright and honest.
What's more, it was illegal. And Nelson is going to call ROGER out on it.
Billion reported his correctly. Everything's fine on his end.
ROGER cheated the system to try and buy a ballot initiative. And, THEY'RE still going to lose, because SIBSTER, you're out of touch.
All you hate words... have no effect.
Take THAT.
Does M. Mike know who gave the 750K? Jack has reported properly. There are people who want SD improved and they back Jack. Now call Mike and help him with his latest $2,000,000 commercial.
NO. Look at the reports.
The money was spent on ads with Gunn Productions by a PAC Jack does not control.
Looks like everything is above board at the end of the day here just like it is with Hunt and Rounds.
Its a bunch of do gooders and people with their own agenda who are contributing to and running these PAC's.
If we don't like it lets close the loop holes. As long as they can, they will continue to do this.
Another thing is how weakly enforced the reporting laws are. An interesting number to know would be just how many reports came in late or are still not in. I bet its more than one.
This whole thing has changed my mind on Amendment E. Our entire state is corrupt. Anytime I don't like a decision, I am just going to take it to the special grand jury.
Vote no on everything but Amendment E to get rid of the corrupt wing of the Republican party.
