This evening, after I did my post today on Brown County candidate and far-right winger Kyler Dinger, I had a call on my phone, which I ignored, followed by a text message which I also ignored until I went back down to my computer, with both of them from appearing to originate with former legislator and Brown County commissioner Drew Dennert, as he was forcing some after-dinner whine to go with the enchiladas my wife made:
With Dennert squarely in winger Dinger’s camp, he’s trying to minimize and brush off the action by Brown County a couple of years ago against his buddy’s illegal dumping violation as simply a mere “citation.” Of course, he’s trying to over-simplify it, but Dennert’s trying to entirely poo-poo winger Dinger‘s illegal dumping would not appear to be entirely accurate.
While on the UJS system it uses citation as a shorthand catch-all term, under South Dakota Law it appears that the technical term used for a misdemeanor or petty offense is “Summons and Complaint,” noting SDCL 23-1A.
Like back in 2012, when Drew was cited/arrested for hunting during a closed season, he was issued a Summons and Complaint form where he pled guilty by POA (Power of Attorney) to a class 2 misdemeanor and was fined $220 as well as losing his hunting license for a year.
So, armed with that information, I will annotate the prior post noting winger Dinger was issued “a summons and complaint” for his offense.
Not quite what Drew was hoping for in his deflection, but I can certainly strive for accuracy.
Nah. This is severe case of FOFO.
Drew tried to f$ck around. And he found out.
His wing is dying and us in D3 can’t wait for him and his dumpster fire to collapse
Mic. Drop.
Last I checked Pat is not an elected official.
Pat is not making law, while intentionally breaking it.
Then again Dennert has always been in the “rules for thee, and not for me” class.
Sorry your pick of a candidate and tap for next county commissioner blew it – he sucks, Drew. Move on. Hopefully quickly.
(They’ve already started complaining and using proxy servers, which have long been banned and are gone. )
Pat, when you have the wackadoodles posting against you anonymously when u post facts, speaks volumes. Thank you for setting the record straight. Brown Bounty is filled with so many great people, it’s good to let them know where the bottom of the barrel is – so they can avoid it.
By the way, has anybody figured out yet why that little weirdo county commissioner is so fixated on hating Katie. Katie is an accomplished soul.
The little weirdo got elected because his Democrat grandpa was a good man
Fake gop probably says it all
Some people are Frank Sinatra. Others are Frank Sinatra Jr.
Lee for the win. Holy sh!t
I was going to try to stay out of this. For the record I was the one that wrote the story that Pat has been talking about all afternoon. Since this story has reached this website, I have reached out to Kyler Dinger about this. The point I was making if you read the full story is what it means to be Republican representing Brown County going forward. I had no intent to cause this much controversy. I also reached out to Katie Washnok about this becuase a comment was made following the question which I will not share at this time. Some of you might know what it already is.
Pat, the Brown County GOP is hosting a Legislative Candidate Forum coming up this Monday night at the Yelduz Shrine here in Aberdeen. I’m planning on covering this for our studios. I would like to invite to come out and see the forums. The House races for District 1,3,& 23 is at 7PM. The Senate races for District 3 & 23 is 8pm.
A candidate effed up. No need to apologize. That’s where Hub City Radio sucks as a media company. They are too worried about pleasing everyone. Write the damn story and move on, but Brian Lundquist and his minions are too worried about the almighty dollar to piss if anyone including Toby Doeden who is his biggest advertiser.
Thank you for the invite, but I’m literally working from sun up past sun down at this point, trying to keep up. I may force myself away from the computer long enough for the Real Republican party on the 16th, but that’s even iffy, and that looks like fun.
Well, there’s drama that doesn’t need to be drama.
It’s not a secret!
I could not attend the Brown County Regan Lunch on Thursday due to a sick child. The last question of the County Commission forum concluded with Herb Schunaman calling for my resignation as chairman of the Brown County of Republicans.
Herb had a laundry list of accusations and misinformation about me.
He and I spoke for 40 minutes on the phone tonight and cleared those up.
I have violated no bylaws of the South Dakota Republican Party or the Brown County Republican Party by running as a candidate for an OPEN Senate seat. I announced my candidacy well before my opponent and have been adamant about maintaining a clear divide between my responsibilities as chair and my role as a candidate. Even foregoing participation as a candidate in Brown County Republican activities, because of it.
Herb also claimed I have disparaged my opponent; I’m afraid I have to disagree; I have been cautious with my words. I don’t believe talking about opponents’ voting records and political practices is slander or defamation; it’s a checkable, hard fact.
As for the candidate meet and greet that will be held May 16, that is all it is: a candidate meet and greet. The five candidates intentionally excluded from seven other candidate meet and greets held in Aberdeen, got together and decided to have a candidate meet and greet of our own.
Not a fundraiser. It’s not an alignment. It’s not a formation of some “team alliance.” No endorsements. It is a fun, family-friendly candidate meet and greet. Period. End of story.
I don’t see how that is me using my position as Chair to advance any candidate, to include myself, beyond any other.
As always, Katie Washnok is full of class and will be a real Statesman (woman) for District 3. Remember to vote folks, or end up with the “same old sh!t, different day”.
We cannot wait until Dennert and the other Libertarian divers are purged in District 3. Aberdeen, Brown County and the region have really taken hits as a result of their involvement. Even the city water fiasco which further eroded public trust.
Nice deflection try, Dennert, but not buying. Note the citation date: March. MARCH!! So far out of every major hunting season it’s, well, criminal. Every major sportsman’s group in the state should be lining up to discredit this poacher.
His Grandpa was on the GF&P commission. Oh, the irony!
Just a reminder that off-topic comments, especially stupid ones, are gone.
