Yesterday, this was the front page of the @argusleader.
Today, Argus didn’t show up for a @kristinoem press conference in their home city. And yes, Gov took questions from the media.#Priorities pic.twitter.com/GDM1fbEoxg

Yikes! Replies are running 20-1 in favor of the cat story.
Cliff, I think your math is off a little bit! Cute Cat.
Caught me! I exaggerated. But only a bit.
He might have a point if it’s not in the next print. That paper was probably already sent to be printed before the conference happened.
It is rare when the Governor is in the state, we should get her on camera each time she is around!
Only one cat? What an amateur.
I remember when South Dakota used to have Governors. Do we have one now?
Yeah. She’s on FoxNews all the time.
And I remember when our governors had real press secretaries like Jim Soyer, Tony Mangan and Janelle Toman. This guy is just a carpetbagger attack dog.
Yep!

“…DDT, other ag chemicals and BPA in baby food have already altered the genes in at least three generations…”
larry kurtz, you realize you sound like a nut case what with all your recycled, unsubstantiated, gene-altering, sensationalistic posts?
It is hard for the Argus to attend a press conference when all your staff lives in other states
that is a great point. another great point is, do we want this comment from a past press sec who hated the sioux falls media he had to deal with?
Dana Perino once said she used to be the White House Press Secretary, But “now I’m commenting on cat videos….well, it’s working.”
Cat stories sell.
Fury can change his name to Furry, for his next job.
This Governor runs circles around any Governor we’ve ever had. She gets more done whether she’s in state or out with one hand tied behind her back than any of them could. Instead of being happy that we have such a fantastic governor that everyone else wants, or wants her to come to their state to inform them of how great our people are and how we do things here….. you whine. She’s elevating YOU, the whole state. Is it jealousy? Are you not used to being productive? What’s wrong here? Some of you just don’t get it. But you will, if/when we get one of the good ol’ boys or a democrat in there. Oh boy, you will. The Argus doesn’t know what success is either…. per the cat story.
that certainly seems to be one mindset around here.
Put down, and step back from the kool-aid. Or, maybe – chug, chug chug!!!
Sarcasm?
Jump? How high?
To Think About It. Your really drank the Kool Aid. Anything our absent governor has gotten done is all for the national press. She has been non-existent in the capital, won’t appear for interviews unless it’s national – oh wait Mr. Furry must have told her that she better at least do one, gets in a huff when the legislature doesn’t agree with her, uses our tax payer money to install a tv studio in the mansion… need I go on? Time for the people to wise up. If you re-electted her, shame on you.
SD Scani
One only needs the facts to see the bills passed and positive changes this Governor has made. You don’t know anything about how she operates. Welcome to 2023! There are all kinds of ways to do business from near and far. While she isn’t gone near as much as what people would like to throw out there, she is still running circles around other governors in the country whether she’s in or out of state. It’s hard for small minded people to understand just how true motivation and success happens. We live in a country that needs her SD common sense, so she shares that while giving hope to others, not just us. I hope she keeps sharing South Dakota values and common sense with the rest of the country…… they need it! Especially democrats.
to sd scandi – good analysis. it’s probably part of the reason why such seizmic rumbles occur every time there’s a post about rounds maaaaaybe wanting to be gov again. i could live with that all day long. back to the future!!
SD Scandi, one of the most important things any state’s governor can do is hang out in Washington DC and try to stop the damage the federal government does to the states.
Those guys lie awake at night contemplating the ways they can violate the 10th Amendment.
Governors can actually govern remotely while trolling the halls of Congress.
Another important job for a governor is to get the word out to the broader public about how much better the states are at managing their own business.
The governor has more important things to do than shovel snow & sweep goose poop off the driveway. She has people for that.
wow governors are so versatile, like swiss army knives.
a lot of people think she should be serving milk and cookies to the legislature, and doing their laundry for them, too
On a serious note, what would be considered the “paper of record” for South Dakota now that the Argus has abandoned that post?
I’ll side with the Argus Leader over a troll out of stater no matter how bad the coverage gets. Sorry not sorry
Said the troll posting from out of state.
Let’s not get catty, now.
