Where's Wald... Jerstad. Where's Jerstad?
Senate State Affairs had a few awkward pauses this morning as Senator Sandy Jerstad was nowhere to be found as they were hearing her first bill ever - Senate Bill 161, a bill to repeal the Death Penalty.
Listen to the testimony here (or lack thereof):
My favorite quote comes from Senator Bob Gray:
Do you think she missed it because she didn't want to watch the slaughter of her death penalty bill?

My favorite quote comes from Senator Bob Gray:
"We still haven't found Senator Jerstad, correct? The Chair will defer Senate Bill 161... until another day."Catch all the details on the bill here.

Perhaps before you poke fun, you should know facts. There was some confusion about the Senate State Affairs Agenda. If you look at the top of the agenda you will see the word "revisied"...this wasn't the original agenda posted last Friday. Severl other bills were on the original agenda.
The revised agenda didn't come out until late Friday afternoon. Come Monday, everyone was confused. To make matters worse, the LRC never sent out the revised agenda.
Most people didn't realize the agenda changed. I am guessing that also includes Jerstad.
If you want to point fingers, you should ask Bob Grey what is up with bill management or ask the committee chairs why they can't get their act together.
Besides the committee meetings generally start at the same time every day.
further one of your buddies could call you on a cell phone.
If you can't even show up for your own bill regarding the death penalty maybe we need to hire someone else to represent D-12.
I think Hal Wick is going to run for D-12 State Senate and kick Jerstad's ass in the next election.
One more conservative and one less liberal!
Wick will wipe the floor with Jerstad (nice alliteration huh!)
The GOP is going to clean house in 08 in the legislature b/c of D shenanigans in Pierre like this and the Katus tax bill and whatever else we can find that goes against a supermajority of South Dakotans beliefs in the next few weeks.
Where's Scotty H and his get back to work crap at now? I saw him on KELO the other night looking all solemn with his hand clasped talking about Dan Sutton and the "PROCESS".
He couldn't lead himself out of paper bag and apparently he has no control over the other airheads in his caucus either.
We're able to multi-task. Apparently, that's something you're not familiar with. Now, who were you calling "idiots"?
