Gag.
You're kidding, right? Which parts of six month winters, rampant racism, chilling effects on civil rights and an extremist legislature escape you people?
Brookings County is not just home to the SDGOP's most obnoxious liar; it sits smack dab in a slough that feeds the Big Sioux River: one of the most polluted watersheds in South Dakota.
A cheese factory made possible by Republican cronyism sustains the stench of thousands of dairy cattle making eastern South Dakota a wasteland.
In 2012, after another GOP governor gutted environmental protection in South Dakota, the Big Sioux River was named the thirteenth most polluted river in the US although nearly every waterway in the state suffers impairment.
A group in Sioux Falls wants white christian earth haters who left South Dakota to return from Minnesota, Colorado and California then isolate themselves from fair taxation, African-Americans, cultural diversity and to enjoy the benefits of air service subsidies.
A Feeding America survey shows 105,880 people in South Dakota are food insecure. Homelessness in the state is rampant; drunk driving, meth use and teen binge drinking are off the charts.
The state is second in addiction to gambling and teachers' salaries are 51st in the nation. Wage slavery is the state's biggest claim to fame and South Dakota dairies are wreaking habitat havoc. Infrastructure is crumbling and the state's bureaucracy is overbearing and unwieldy. Ag groups want federally subsidized crop insurance and the right to pollute. Corruption and graft are commonplace.
Pollution from industrial agriculture has made waterways poisonous, the state has no modern statute addressing financial assurances for pipeline leaks. Trophy fishing for threatened species is a tourist activity. East River, South Dakota is a dead zone.
Racism is endemic and white immigrants have been accepted while displacing and disgracing American Indians. South Dakota wrongly puts thousands in nursing homes. Mass incarceration fuels the white foster home industry: a pet project of the governor's wife.
In South Dakota 302 children are confined per 100,000 kids; that's the highest number in the United States according to Pew.
South Dakota hid evidence in the death of Brookings resident Brady Folkens. Republican Attorney General Marty Jackley routinely benefits from court deals with his campaign donors while the South Dakota Newspaper Association reads like a bulletin for the Republican Party.
Fact is: in South Dakota Republicans go to Pierre for the lobbyist-provided hookers while Democrats go to Pierre because they are the hookers.
Democrats aren't going to return to my home state to be repressed, oppressed and depressed: South Dakota is doomed to be a shithole for Republicans forever.
Russell Halgerson and his wife fled Rochester, Minnesota to be around white people like themselves and to hide from cultural diversity; but, Brookings is, and will always be a backwater for wage slaves who toil under oligarchs like the Larsons, Kurtenbachs and the Fishbacks.
Brookings has benefited from steadily population growth during the last decade, but economic development experts in the city are using a new tactic to draw even more families back to the town of nearly 24,000. Officials for Brookings’ Economic Development Corporation created a website, appropriately called liveinbrookings.com, with resources for finding a job, buying a house and applying for child care or health care.Read the rest here.
