April 19th

By -
This Thursday, April 19th, marks the 14th anniversary of the crash of the state airplane which killed Governor George Mickelson and seven others.

On that day, please take a moment to remember them, and all the others who selflessly serve to forward the interest of South Dakota as a whole - be it in government or the business community.

Yep, what a very tragic day! It does not feel like it was that long ago. George, Gov. M. was a very, nice, man, as his wife is.
I remember getting the phone call, I just could not believe what I was being told.
Do you all remember the transfer across the state for his final rest.
More memories...

I think this was the single greatest tragedy in modern South Dakota history. We lost good people doing their best to serve the citizens of South Dakota. I think George Mickelson had even bigger and better things ahead of him in service to the state and nation. A terrible, terrible loss that has had a huge impact on our state.

Scott Heidepreim plays divide and conquer in today's Sioux Falls Argus Leader

By -
Scott Heidepreim had a guest column in today's Sioux Falls Argus Leader where he's doing his best to continue the Democrat's tactics of divide the GOP to conquer. It's pretty ironic, because to try to split the GOP, he's claiming that somehow, the "bad" House Republicans were working against a unified Senate where Republicans and Democrats skip and sing kumbaya as they hug each other and work together: * Senate Republicans, Senate Democrats and House Democrats were united in a sweeping and positive agenda for K-12 funding with an index factor, endorsed by the Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce. This index factor, for the first time, would link the idea that adequate education funding is a tool for economic development. The House Republicans killed the proposal. Our teachers are paid the least in the country. * Senate Republicans, Senate Democrats and House Democrats were united in support of early childhood development, a concept supported by the Federal R...
