We don’t want to be more crowded here in SD. We like the fact that we have no crime, we don’t have to constantly watch our backs, our kids can play safely outside, and that our version of ‘gang violence’ involves high school kids and toilet papering houses.
This is wonderful. Hopefully, it will pass in the SD Senate also. The next step would be to develop a strategy that will 1)refuse to recognize federal authority in some matter not assigned to the federal government in the Constitution, and 2)assert the state’s claim to their portion of the tax dollars that the federal government is distributing for that purpose to other states.
Excellent. So far, it’s looking like South Dakota and Oklahoma are about to get a lot more crowded. LOL.
