Fiegen all about conforming to GOP protocol

South Dakota earth hater Public Utilities Commission Chair Kristie Fiegen says commissioners have to interpret state law and apply that to the evidence and filings but always rules along strict party lines.
Fiegen is limited in her ability to comment on South Dakota's dealings with TransCanada. The PUC's permit for Keystone XL to cross this state is under appeal at the state Supreme Court.
Get the story at Bill Janklow's idea of public radio.

Black Hills Energy, another client applying PUC lubrication after priming the election pump, achieved a May orgasm at the hands of Chris Nelson, Chairman Gary Hanson and Kristie Fiegen.

Read more about Chris Nelson's conflicts of interest here and here.

Last cycle, Representative Kristi Noem enjoyed a $2500 face lift from Dakota Access' parent, Energy Transfer Partners, the Texas company that gave nearly $321,000 to Republicans and less than $27,000 to Democrats.

Selective enforcement is just another GOP perk in the chemical toilet that is South Dakota.
