Regarding Rhodens comments on SB 173, the production ag bill. I am baffled why the ag folks think they are the only ones that the "market" is unfair to. The property tax debacle will be solved by one process, and one process only. First; we have to define fair, second; determine who is being treated unfairly and why, third; bring forward legislation that treats all property owners fairly !! not just the ag folks (whom I love).

I have pages of property tax comparisons, here are a couple I worked up recently.

Between 1998 and 2005;

property tax collections increased 175 million dollars.

90.5 million or 52% came from just 3 counties.

130.3 million or 75% came from just 11 counties.

the other 44.7 million or 25% came from the other 55 counties.

Since Rhoden mentioned Corson county in his remarks. Property taxes for 2 counties in this State are decreasing, Corson County has had the largest redution in prooperty taxes during this time, over 9% decrease in 7 years.

(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...
