I guess I'm not the only one moving on to greener pastures. I hear today that a cabinet secretary submitted their resignation.

Stay tuned to your statewide news media to hear who.

UPDATE: A member of the MSM confirmed it. DOT Secretary Judy Payne has submitted her resignation to Governor Rounds.

Judy did a wonderful job at DOT. I'm surprised she stayed as long as she did at that last bastion of male supremacy. Way to go Judy!

Yes Judy did what she was hired to do, cut heads and make them roll....Today our DOT has never been in worse shape, SD is paying so many consultants to do the work that good DOT employees use to do.

Interesting... a DOT bribery scandal breaks out and the Secretary resigns a few days later.

This is usually how big scandals start...

She's tending to personal family issues. You can't fault her for that. It's actually pretty honorable. Besides, Rounds never fires anyone.

Didn't the director of finance for DOT resign a week or so ago too?

(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
