Such a nice day, it's time for a Political Outing - 2/24/06

By -
In addition to walking away from the State Senate this year due to term limits, Senate Majority Leader Eric Bogue walked away from the Faith Stock Show with $500 in his pocket from the $100 Club Prime Rib Dinner on February 11th. (As reported in Faith Independent 2/22)

Ashley Vanneman, daughter of Tripp County GOP Chair Kim Vanneman did a stint as a Legislative page this session for Representative Barry Jensen. Kim is a long-time “hauler of water for the elephant” (Winner Advocate 2/22)

Not a lot of legislative petitions turned in yet. To date, who has filed paperwork?

Neil Putnam who ran against then State Auditor, now State Treasurer Vern Larson back in 1990 has a smaller target in mind this time. As reported by today’s Mitchell Daily Republic, Neil, the Mitchell City Planner, is on the ballot for the Mitchell School Board.

PERCENTAGE


42.14%

57.86%

As you can see, back in 1990 he managed 42% against Vern.

Go enjoy your weekend. I’m on the road to Brookings at 5pm with B.K., the SDWC mascot, so I know I will.

(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.

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.
