The Honorable Matt Michels
President of the Senate

Pierre, SD 57501-5070

Dear Mr. President and Members of the Senate:

I respectfully return Senate Bill 194 with the following recommendations as to STYLE and FORM.

Senate Bill 194 is entitled, “An Act to make an appropriation to fund tax refunds for elderly persons and persons with a disability, to revise the income eligibility requirements for property tax and sales tax refunds, and to declare an emergency.”

Section 7 amended the maximum multi-member household income in two places to “thirteen thousand two sevenhundred fifty dollars.” The first is found on page 4, line 17 and the second is on page 4, line 20 of the Senate Bill.

The bill failed to make that same change in a third place. On page 4, lines 18-19 of the Senate Bill, the maximum household income is described as “thirteen thousand two hundred fifty dollars.”

This problem can be solved by making the following style and form correction to the Senate Bill as follows:  On page 4, line 19, delete “two” and in its place insert “seven.”

I respectfully request you concur with my recommendations as to style and form.

Respectfully submitted,

Dennis Daugaard

The Honorable Val Rausch

President of the Senate

500 East Capitol Avenue

Pierre, SD 57501-5070

Dear Mr. Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives:

I respectfully return House Bill 1058 and pursuant to Article IV, Section 4 of the South Dakota Constitution, I exercise a LINE ITEM VETO on the same.

House Bill 1058 is entitled, “An Act to make an appropriation to the Unified Judicial System court automation fund and revise certain record search fees charged by clerks of court”.

This bill appropriates one dollar ($1) in Section 1 of the bill which is unnecessary.

Sections 1, 2, and 3 of the bill relate to the appropriation of one dollar ($1) to the Unified Judicial System. Sections 4, 5, and 6 of House Bill 1058 amend SDCL 16-2-29.5 to change the records search fee from fifteen dollars ($15) to the new fee of twenty dollars ($20). This new fee becomes effective January 1, 2013 and will sunset June 30, 2017.

Because of this unnecessary one dollar ($1) appropriation in Section 1, I am exercising a line item veto to strike the portion of the bill which relates to this appropriation. I specifically request that, Sections 1, 2, and 3 of the bill be deleted.

This eliminates the one dollar ($1) appropriation and the other sections relating to this special appropriation.

Finally, I strike the following phrase in the title “make an appropriation to the Unified Judicial System court automation fund and.”  This changes the title of the bill so that the title relates only to the fee increase.

I respectfully request that you concur with my LINE ITEM VETO of House Bill 1058.

Sincerely,

Dennis Daugaard

Kirkeby Mailer in the Rapid City Mayoral Race

Bob Ellis

This mailer went out yesterday regarding the Rapid City mayoral race. We have an establishment "Gov. Daugaard is our supreme being" RINO Mark Kirkeby running against incumbent Mayor Sam Kooiker. Rapid City voters know what they're getting with Kooiker, since he has served them for years on the city council and now for one term as mayor. The voters also deserve to know what they would be getting with Mark Kirkeby.

Liberal Hijacking of the National Conversation

Bob Ellis

This video of Glenn Beck does some jumping around, but there is one overriding theme: the hijacking of the national conversation by the morally bankrupt Left. Please take the time to watch this, and then ask yourself some tough questions, including: "Have I been taken in by any of this? Have I let them silence me? Have I let them intimidate me from standing up for what is right?" If you don't like the answers you come up with, what are you going to do about it?

Abortion? Right move is crisis counseling, birth

Star Parker

According to pro-abortion reasoning, poor women -- desperate because of an unwanted pregnancy, pressed because regulations and costs make abortion difficult to get -- turn to sleazebag doctors who will do it cheaply, with no regard for the woman, the law or safety. But it is ironic that those who call themselves "pro-choice" argue that the only alternatives facing low-income women are unsafe abortions done by sleazebags or government-subsidized abortions. There is another choice, but those who call themselves don't want women, particularly poor women, to consider it. This option is called birth.

Rep. Kelly Rakes IRS Officials Over the Coals

Bob Ellis

This is a very interesting and telling interview from Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) of IRS Commissioner Steven Miller over the Obama Administration scandal involving IRS harassment of Tea Party and other conservative groups. I don't know why Kelly isn't trying to extend an olive branch. Why isn't he trying to find common ground? Why isn't he trying to persuade this guy to see things his way? Why is he being so mean?

Minnesota: A letter of indictment

Bradlee Dean

The front: homosexual marriage. The end: schoolchildren. This week, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton (labeled one of America’s worst senators by TIME) signed homosexual marriage legislation into un-law after the un-lawful House and Senate approved it. In concert these branches of the Minnesota government have proven themselves to be in defiance against the laws of Nature and Nature’s God, as found in the Declaration of Independence.

"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
