Happy HanuChristmaYear from the Governor’s Office of Economic Development

Hanukkah begins todayHag Hanukkah sameach!

I can’t spot Governor Daugaard’s menorah among the Capitol Christmas deckings (but kudos to the Davison County Treasurer’s Office on the license-plate tree). The Governor’s Office of Economic Development, however, has sent out a more inclusive card wishing everyone Happy Holidays:

Before you call Donald Trump or FOX News, note that GOED did not shy away from uttering the word Christmas to celebrate economic development success in Brookings in 2014. I’m sure GOED Commissioner  J. Pat Costello shares my desire that all of your holidays be happy, including Christmas.

    The train symbolically runs to the left; or, to the right in reverse.

    What John fails to notice or point out is that old #7 there, parked on the corner and symbolically running to the left, is also headed down a dead-end track.

    as are most of the few rail services we have Grudz …deadends..South Dakota quit the rails when Eisenhower introduced the Interstate road system back in the 50’s. using a locomotive is a poor choice by GOED.

    Want to bet Daugaard had zero,zip,zilch,nada,nothing to do with the design or message of this reminder that corrupt crooks run rundown,right wing, South Dakota?

    Grinchznick what makes you so cheerful this time of year?

    Mike, you are from Iowa, so you can be cheerful that I rue the total ruination of the Democrat Party here in my great State of South Dakota, because without any effective legislatures on the libbie side anymore what happens is the strengthens the whack jobs who are insaner than most.
