From last week's Capitol Journal
Unclaimed Property Deja Vu

This one was in the Capitol Journal about a week ago.

Yes, you are reading that the State of South Dakota has unclaimed property that it's holding for.... itself.

I'm kind of confused on this one. Does someone from the first floor need to go up to the second floor to claim it. Or should someone from the second floor go to the first floor and say 'we have it.' And does the state have to fill out a form to claim it's own money?

Yes, check the list. Because as the ad says - "the state may have some of your money." Possibly, even it's own.

The Argus Leader ran several pages of these ads and it looked to me that there were alot of property holders that should have been very easy to track down.

It is obviously the job of the State Treasurer to find the rightful owners of any unclaimed property. To sit back and expect the owners to come and check the list is not the way the system is supposed to work.

How embarrassing....
Government at its finest. How about using the internet to try to find these people? It is really not that hard. Who has time to read the small print anyways? We should be able to do better- it is 2007 not 1907...

(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
