Elgersma: EPA necessary

A Dakota Free Press regular is hugely pissed off at South Dakota's GOP congressional delegation for its hypocrisy on the US Environmental Protection Agency's commitment to clean water and air in my home state.

Sen. Mike Rounds wants to start a committee in Congress to stop the EPA on rules that affect the economy for more than $50 million. Does he not know that there are already congressmen that get huge campaign contributions to do just that? When Sen. John Thune ran against Sen. Tim Johnson, Thune was accused of voting to raise the arsenic levels in water 10 times what it had been. We need leaders who neither take contributions to buy their votes nor listen to those who do. [LTE, Roger Elgersma]

Amen, Brother Roger.

Wild Horses of Red Rock

After consulting with the Horse Shelter and an equine veterinarian Donnamarie and Larry have decided that the best way to protect ten free-roaming horses is to keep them in their care. Forage is scarce and the only water available is from wells on their property so the four mares that will foal very soon will be safe, well cared for and as wild as possible. About fifteen acres is fenced with horse-safe wire but the gate is always open so the herd can come and go as they please. The couple has been buying hay and so far that is working but the three stallions need to be gelded and that is expensive so we're asking you to pony up to help defray the cost.
