The Attorney General’s Office is distributing this flyer to legislators regarding Senate Bill 62 and Amendment A, which is a Government Accountability bill. The legislation passed the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday and now goes to the Senate floor for further consideration. The bill and amendment are supported by the Attorney General’s Office.
In this legislation, Attorney General Jackley is asking that a state supervisor who allegedly destroys evidence should be charged with a class 6 felony, punishable by two years in state prison and a $4,000 fine.
Is it just me, or this sort of a weird marketing flyer from the AG’s office? Seems like the AG should simply put out the facts in memo or brief form. I’ve never seen an AG put out a legislative piece that includes a photo of a felon or defendant. Seems really odd to put something out like this. I would expect it from some whacky grassroots group, but not from a serious government entity.
Looks like something your crazy neighbor sticks under your windshield wiper.
YES! Different fonts, graphics, and pictures. That’s exactly what it feels like.
Want to know about real government waste, fraud, and abuse? It’s the AG and a bunch of his highest paid cronies spending $10,000 or more of taxpayer dollars flying down to Sioux Falls to do a TeeVee announcement about a $250 theft. Now THAT should be a crime.
Marty, if grudznick can figure out the Zoom, even you can use the Zoom.
This bill is squarely aimed at the governor’s office.
It’s if someone intentionally destroys evidence.
Jackley is dominating public perception and the issues during session.
This appears to be an ad promoting Jackley and use of state funds to promote an individual is a crime. The AG would claim this flyer is not promoting an individual but it is an abuse of power
AG, prosecute thyownself.
Jackley is just following Noem’s playbook. Why is it good when she jets around the country on the taxpayer dime pushing her own political aspirations, but bad when Jackley does? I don’t like the guy, but this blog has the intellectual consistency of cream of wheat.
it’s not good when she did it either. Can’t wait to see her credit card spending when the Dakota Scout publishes it.
And they wonder why crazies got a foothold? Yes, the loons are dishonest and only in it for themselves, but when the status quo is inconsistent standards for different republican politicians, can you blame people for their disenchantment? At some point, Pat and the people he supports are going to have to look inwards to see how they are contributing to this mess.
