Hull on the Run?

We heard about a hunting party north of Sisseton made up of the Hull family (as in our CC) wherein threats were made by the Hulls on Thanksgiving eve.

Seems the landowner came upon a dozen or so hunters on his posted land and stopped to check them out as nobody had asked his permission to hunt there. One of the Hulls told the landowner that if the owner didn't leave that he (Hull) would shoot him. The landowner called the game warden to report the incident. We haven't heard what happened or if charges will be made.

Seems to me that is below the minimum what the South Dakota Hunting Handbook dictates is good relations with landowners. It might even lean more towards a criminal complaint. This is pretty serious stuff!

But then we knew our Commissioner already figured he owned the whole county, didn't we? There ought to be an IQ test before a hunting license is issued. I can only say "Don't take your guns to town Son; leave your guns at home."

Town Hall Invitation

We would like to extend an open invitation to ALL Roberts County elected officials to step up and introduce yourselves please.
This is open to those who recently got elected to position, those who were named to one and those who have had the position awhile.

Please introduce yourself and tell us a little about you, your title or position, your intended changes or completed changes....what makes you "tick"?

We hope to hear from Tribal officials as well as County officials so we can get to know you a little better and maybe we can truly make this a united community , where we can all work together, with harmony at the forefront.

Dipsticks?

Chuck has done it again! A great article is on the SOTA website. Read it and weep for Roberts County.

The 3 Amigos are upholding their reputations to be sure. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can rid
our county of these 3 commissioner impersonators and their shenannigans and possibly reclaim our dignity?

This is beyond absurd and borders on insane......

Thanks to Chuck for telling us like it is.

Another Shooting?

We heard there was another shooting "incident" in the fair city of Sisseton. Sounds like a person or persons went into the End Zone bar and laid a pistol on the counter and the police were called out. The person(s) took off in a pick-up and went out to the new IHS clinic where they waved the gun around and shot up into the air. The authorities came and conquered and that was it.

Has anyone heard more on this? Is it just rumor or did it happen? Let us know please.

Integrity. Has Roberts County Got It?

Overheard at a recent Commissioner meeting: "Chuck isn't playing with a full deck" This came out of the mouth of Horton by the way. He was referring to a recent article printed in the Sota by Chuck Floro.

Horton Hears A Who.....Who hasn't got a full deck Bobby? You of all people should leave that sentence alone.

Speaking of integrity. City, County or State. SD ranks 50th in Integrity in government. That's like at the bottom isn't it?
This is a very derogative statement about a business man or anyone by a commissioner in a public meeting and a prime example of no integrity in SD government.

Yet most South Dakotans possess high levels of integrity themselves, it just seems to disappear when it comes to government.
Leaving government out of the equation, South Dakota has a good reputation for integrity so what happens to those who become government officials? Do they park their integrity the same place they leave their honesty, their manners, their conscience?

All I've got to say is watch for an article in next week's Sota!

2008 Election Stats

I have the final election totals etc so will post them for those who haven't seen them already:

Tribal Elections:

Chairman: Michael Selvage was re-elected
Vice-Chairman: Garryl Rousseau
Secretary: Delbert Hopkins

Now for the Roberts County Elections:

States Attorney: Kerry Cameron
Cameron got 67.22% or 2,976 votes and Kay Nickolas got 32.78% or 1,451 votes
County Commission District 2: Tim Zempel
Chairman/Incumbent Louis Voeltz got 44.43% or 459 votes and Tim Zempel got 55.57% or 574 votes
County Commission District 4: Roger George
Roger George got 73.63% or 712 votes and Larry Wanous got 26.37% or 255 votes

Hopefully this is a step in the right direction. We still need to focus on the remaining incumbent commissioners and
vote them out next election if they insist on "business as usual"

Have you noticed that our polls reflected the actual outcome of this election fairly accurately? I will leave them up for another week before removing them to make it easier to navigate all we have to offer here for you.

Remember! This is YOUR voice for Roberts County. Let us know if you want something discussed or posted and we will do our best to make it happen. Just click on the envelope if you want to get in touch with me privately.

Election Results

Below is a preliminary local listing of the election results for Roberts County:

States Attorney: Kerry Cameron over Kay Nickolas

County Commissioner: Tim Zempel over Louis Voeltz...........Roger George over Larry Wanous

I pulled these from the SD Secretary of States homepage so I don't have the stats yet but hopefully this is what happened.

Sounds like we managed to CLEAN HOUSE! Yeah!!

I will put up totals when I get them as to how many votes each candidate actually received, but for now this is it.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote yesterday.

Please remember to VOTE tomorrow!! Each and every one of you together will make the difference we must make if we are to move forward without tyranny and racial decisions made by those who are in office now.

We need to remove, replace and renew!!

Together we CAN make a difference......but only if all of us make sure to VOTE!!
