Lame duck Larry Rhoden should apologize as he exits

A collapse of the agriculture sector, $650 million plus cost overruns for a prison, $240 million plus cost overruns for the Platte-Winner Bridge rebuild, $150M plus cost overruns for a Capitol remodel and at least $2 billion for a boondoggle West River water pipeline but just a $65 million surplus, the end of property taxes and TIFs galore? 

Looks like Earth hater pie-in-the-sky to any cynical observer. 

How are 66 county seats and their bureaucracies either conservative or sustainable? They're not; but, it is the way Republican cronyism and patronage built barricades to democracy by providing benefits of the public dole to those who say they deplore big gubmint in a state that hates poor people. 

Why does a welder or a coder or even a registered nurse need a liberal arts education especially when the English Language Holy Bible and The Turner Diaries are all you need to read?

South Dakota Democrats need to run on a corporate income tax, ending video lootery, reducing the number of South Dakota counties to 25 and turning Dakota State and/or Northern State University into community colleges.

Since the bridge over the Missouri River between Fort Pierre and the cesspool on the east side was at least two years late and millions over budget maybe interim Governor Larry Rhoden should just apologize for decades of graft and a culture of corruption in South Dakota's capital when he announces he isn't running in the Earth hater gubernatorial primary.
