Now here’s a question I have: Where do these legislators get these ideas for such bad legislation? Do they have a personal beef against what they want to legislate against? Do they really feel that all this “busywork” will make them more powerful? Are their egos that fragile that they need to churn out massive amounts of paper to feel good?

If someone ever asks me to run for office, hit me over the head with a hammer until I come to my senses.

Stupid, just plain stupid and wasteful. PP, what does it cost SD taxpayers when any bill is introduced?

If it saves just one life, it is well worth it.
