KEVN FOX in Rapid City has big series on PACs in Rapid City races
The FOX TV station out in Rapid City had a big series of stories this week on the influence of PACs in Rapid City Elections. Unfortunately, it wasn't terribly complete:
It talks about how Sam Kooiker (yes, Sam is an advertiser here) cut ties with Hamilton at the same time that Mayor Shaw maintains them. It goes into the Shaw/Hamilton/Schumacher controversy in part 2, but utterly ignored the fact that the terms of the goofy contract were impossible at the time it was written; where the contract was for more hours of work than remained in the election. And the fact that nobody ever files such things with the Secretary of State. (Such wonderful journalism....)
And it has extensive interviews from former Tim Johnson opponent Don Frankenfeld.
Enough chatter from me. Go check it out at KEVN, and judge for yourself.
Click on each link to view the stories. It's not a bad series on how PAC's have affected the Rapid City, but it could be a bit more in depth. For instance, it has extensive information on Doug Hamilton, but literally nothing on a much bigger donor, Stan Adelstein. It mentions him, but barely.Part 2

Kookier looked like a deer caught in highlights.
He said that he didn't know anything. He's either not real smart or he's not telling the truth, either way, I not sure he should he is mayor material.
Who publicly cut all ties with the real hoodlums ? Kooiker.
To conclude Sam is Lying you have to believe Schumacher waited till after November to be paid for a June election ? OOOOOOOOOO yyyyyaaaa
maybe we need an IQ test prior to posting, kinda like a drug test.
why not send in schumachers bank statements from the last year, show us when 7700 dollars was deposited, you sent in a phony contract with your report.
