Okay. Now Knock it off!
Yet ANOTHER ballot issue is circulating

By -
You know, this is really getting ridiculous. Another measure has been filed with the Secretary of State's office. Since they couldn't get it done in the legislature, the cellular telephone are doing it at the ballot box.

The Initiated Measure to repeal the four percent (4%) gross receipts tax imposed by South Dakota Codified Law Chapter 10-33A upon wireless telecommunication services. View full text of petition. (pdf warning.) has been filed with the Secretary of State as circulating.

Maybe I shouldn't have considered it a joke a while back when I asked the question "What comes after Initiated measure Z."

Let's just make all our decisions by a vote of the people! Yeah, that's it.. that's the ticket! The average voter is certainly smart enough.
We can save space at the capitol building and the money we pay legislators!

Happy Trails!

Looks as if the legislators have not been doing their work. We have to remember it is an election year. That is why we are going to have pages and pages to vote on. The people will speak!

I even support a couple of them, but it might be easier to just encourage people to vote no on everything.

(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
