From the Rapid City Journal, the DiSanto resignation has been confirmed by the Governor’s office:
A spokeswoman for Gov. Kristi Noem confirmed Tuesday to the Journal that DiSanto, a Republican from Box Elder, has submitted her resignation to the governor’s office. That confirmation came after DiSanto posted a message to her personal Facebook page saying she is planning a move out of the state by Jan. 1.
and…
The Dakota War College political blog shared an image Tuesday of DiSanto’s Facebook post, which said she has accepted a position with a real estate brokerage in Montana.
As I had noted to one of her fellow State Senators today, the face of the State Senate is going to be drastically changed this coming January – even more so after the 2020 election.
Obviously the “drastic” change in the State Senate will be to the left.
Are we sure Montana wants her?
Well, she’d be a lot better than a lot of the Californicators currently moving to (and screwing up!) Montana.
Wow. Next session we will have 100% new leadership in the Senate.
President Pro Tempore Partridge.
It’s a shame the way the senate is drifting.
The Governor could have something to say about that with her appointments, but my understanding is that she (or at least her staff) have a preference for moderates like Partridge, rather than Greenfield and Langer. Which is unfortunate..
They smack talk Greenfield and Langer. I give Langer and Greenfield credit for holding the line. Haugaard gets credit also with Spencer Gosch. Bolin is his own man. Good people.
Governor Noem please appoint Mr. Grudznick a founder of the Conservatives with Common Sense breakfast roundtable as a replacement for Sen. DiSanto.
Conservatives just took some hard hits by these resignations. I’m not a fan of disanto and I know stace is hard to work with but it’s a sad day for limited government.
No one is for limited government more enthusiastically than I. The governor’s office did call, and said there was much outcry to appoint grudznick, but alas I am in the district numbered 30, not the one numbered 33, and grudznick is not eligible to be named to young Ms. DiSanto’s well-worn chair.
The South Dakota legislature has never been about limited government. Ever. It’s been, and always will be, about social engineering.
How sad that Partridge and Schoenbeck will collude. Neither match the Governor’s ethics.
MT might send her back. Let’s not celebrate until it’s official.
Greenfield needs to run for PUC. He has carried the banner for conservatives for a long time. He will get my vote.
Moderates will be appointed.
Brock the vote!
Brock Greenfield for PUC? That is a great idea. He gets my support.
Will the Democrats and Democrats light all caucus together now? Will Heinert finally get the recognition he deserves as the majority leader?
Heinert, who voted to throw Indian kids under the bus? I wouldn’t give any recognition to a guy that fought not to investigate Gear Up………He obviously is Not On It.
This woman needed to go, South Dakota is better for it. Idaho would better suited for her.
I hope Greenfield, Langer and Bolin remain in leadership.
