Pierre, S.D. - The South Dakota Department of Transportation is offering a new service for travelers called ClearPath 511.
ClearPath 511 is a free alert service providing information on road closures, no-travel advisories, and highway flooding. Users can choose to receive alerts by e-mail or text messages for specific highway routes, days of the week, and times of day fitting their individual needs. Standard text messaging rates apply.
“ClearPath 511 is another tool the South Dakota Department of Transportation is using to provide travelers with the most complete and up-to-date information,” says Kristi Sandal, Public Information Officer. “Keeping the public safe is our No. 1 priority”.
To subscribe to ClearPath 511, go to www.safetravelusa.com/sd and click on the intertwined CP symbol in the upper right hand corner of the page.
ClearPath 511 presents a menu offering a variety of options, settings, preferences and locations to receive alerts.
Road-closure alerts are automatic, while No-Travel-Advised or Flooding are optional choices.

South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley today released the testing results of the ignition interlock devices. The devices were added to the 24/7 Sobriety Program in October of 2012. Since being added, 119 participants passed 124,771 tests with a pass rate of 99.5%.
Just in time for Memorial Day, we’re being treated to a generous serving of praise and grandstanding by politicians, corporations and others with similarly self-serving motives eager to go on record as being pro-military. We erect monuments for those who die while serving in the military, yet for those who return home, there’s little honor to be found. Making matters worse, thanks to Operation Vigilant Eagle, a program launched by the Department of Homeland Security in 2009, military veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are also being characterized as extremists and potential domestic terrorist threats.
In testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee, outgoing Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Steven Miller’s suggested that the targeting of tea party and other groups was in part caused by Congress’ failure to provide “clear rules” on what constitutes political activity. But those rules are already clear, Americans for Limited Government President Nathan Mehrens noted.
We are to believe, according to the pro-O media, that President Obama has survived the scandals and his ratings haven't dropped dangerously low. I don't believe it. Too much talk on the streets says differently. There are people who like to mess with the poll results, just because they can. There are people who swing back and forth on their opinions on any given day. And, there are people who are probably afraid their answers are being reported back to some central source for loyalty review.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
