Didn’t this guy run a few times years ago in Brookings, never won?
Dan is a stand up guy who wants to give back to the community he loves. Who cares if he ran and lost. The willingness of any person to put their name on a ballot shows real courage.
Is this the same Dan Kippley who worked for the Sweetman gravel/concrete/construction business?
The same Dan Kippley who worked for Eastern and Ellis Railroad (owned by Knife River)?
Yah, I think we know why Dan Kippley wants to be on the Minnehaha County Commission.
Or more to the point, we know the reason why Knife River wants Dan Kippley on the Minnehaha County Commission.
Why yes it is, and it’s the same Dan Kippley that is running on the platform of REMOVING the county auditor, treasurer, and register-of-deeds from being elected positions.
We need new blood infused into South Dakota political positions at ALL LEVELS — not indivduals that are already questionable.
The embarrassment to the county would be to put Dan Kippley as Commisioner.
