Governor Kristi Noem gets to fill a second vacancy in the Rapid City Legislative contingent. Third-term Representative Jess Olson (R-34/Rapid City) resigned from her House seat this week for health reasons.
Noem still has to name a replacement for Jessica Castleberry, a Republican Noem appointee who left her District 35 Senate seat in a Noem-triggered scandal in August. Noem has delayed that appointment and will surely delay the appointment of a replacement for Olson until the South Dakota Supreme Court gets back to her on her sprawling request for opinions on Legislative conflicts of interest that Senate boss Lee Schoenbeck (R-5/Lake Kampeska) has said will drain the swamp and leave almost no one to serve in Pierre. State Auditor Rich Sattgast told Schoenbeck and the Executive Board yesterday that he’s heard lawmakers are ratting each other out and may whack at 20 of their colleagues with conflict-of-interest allegations, less out of a keen interest in government integrity and more out of factional squabbles.
Noem has gotten to appoint eight legislators so far:
- Helene Duhamel, Senate, 2019—serving third term
- Dayle Hammock, House, 2019—served one term
- Rhonda Milstead, Senate, 2019—served two terms
- James Wangsness, House, 2019—serving third term
- Jessica Castleberry, Senate, 2020—resigned in third term
- Casey Crabtree, Senate, 2020—serving third term
- Marty Overweg, House, 2020—serving third term
- Lynn Schneider, House, 2020—serving third term
The entire state will be under a red flag warning tomorrow because Mrs. Noem is clueless about how the warming climate is changing the region.
Every time I read Rhonda Milstead, I get a little puke rumble in my gut.
It takes me a bit to keep from blowing chunks.
Her Husband actually does make me puke.
I wonder if the lack of representation here in good ol Rapid City might have anything to do with the murder bloody murders happening like a constant euthanasia around here. Guns and misogyny and a few other factors would maybe turn up as playing a significant role if a study were ever done to understand the violence we are sweeping under the rug.

Rapid City was founded on racial hatred but Watching the SDGOP ripping itself apart is illustrative of the chaos the extreme white wing is hoping to achieve to ensure their prayers for the End Times prove them right.
Rapid is nice enough, but you have to drive down Haines or Lacrosse to get to it…
It should be the prettiest town in SD.
Because of failures of Republicans to control invasive species like cheatgrass and Eastern red cedar the grassland fire danger index will be in the extreme category today for eastern Pennington County.
Those delinquents at the Alternative School will all get long marched for those kinds of shenanigans. Just like in boot camp, all have to pay for the screwups of the one or the few.
