it appears that the Grinch has arrived in Pierre just in time for Christmas! Because the Legislative Research Council has added new categories for legislation on their website:
Both the House and the Senate are adding “Resolutions of Disapproval” to the categories of legislation that website viewers can peruse.
i’m not exactly sure why we have a “resolution” category AND a “resolution of disapproval” category, but that might be a hint as to what we will see coming from the new legislature in January. Obviously, someone feels there will be enough disapproval to warrant categorization.
These Resolutions of Disapproval may prove to be very, very entertaining. And a great taker-of-time, keeping the legislatures from doing more real harm beyond the general blacklisting these Resolutions are sure to become.
grudznick predicts that Mr. PP ends up with several of these Resolutions, suitable for framing.
A “resolution of disapproval” is a specific type of resolution, provided for by Joint Rules 6A-1(4). It only applies when the governor issues an executive reorganization order, and the legislature wants to object to the reorganization.
They are extremely rare, which is why they’ve never had their own category, but they are a specific type of resolution so it’s appropriate to have a separate category.
Ahhhh yes, the Noem haters are circling the wagons.
Grudz is right. The benefit is this crap will protect us from you doing real harm. When are you guys going to quit with “hold my beer” oneupsmanship?
2025, the year that Pierre becomes little DC. Nothing will get done except bash the other side. Only differance the othe side in Pierre is the same side. Not surprising that his happened under Noem’s watch.
No. It’s the Hansen, Odenbach, Lems confederacy.
There is no “other side.” It’s entirely republicans trashing each other for personal gain.

Many of us will be looking for the many quiet events flying under the radar, when the work that has to be done by lawmakers, gets done the way it usually gets done, to our benefit, politics aside.
Approve or Disapprove. Word on the street from the Tar Heel State is that the featured speaker from the Dakota First Action Gala is looking to move to South Dakota to seek his freedom after their January 11th inauguration.
Mark Robinson’s lawsuit against CNN has not been going well. It appears to be going down hill from there. “The Return of Minisoldr” by Joe Killian December 16th 2024 The Assembly. https://www.theassemblync.com/politics/mark-robinson-minisoldr/
There is a good chance he will be roaming the halls, sitting in the gallery, visiting with like minded legislators and political activists who attended the gala in Sioux Falls looking for a job in Pierre during session.
Sounds like a complete waste of time to me. What a pitiful time to be a republican in this state with the far right wing religious zealots elected.
Cronyists vs Arsonists vying for supremacy over the people. No matter who wins, Founder’s principle of the people, by the people, for the people are trod upon.
The calls of cronyism are greatly exaggerated. Some? Sure. But we threw a lot of babies out with the bath water.
Is supporting Chamber of Commerce type legislation called cronyism now? I always that it was common sense to support jobs and fiscally conservative to expand the tax base to keep rates from going up.
Resolutions have always been pointless except for creating scorecards
This will just produce more crap votes for grandstanding purposes
The Conservatives with Common Sense Scorecard of Scorecards watchers will be watching, and recording these Votes of Disapprovals in the correct categories.
Do they periodically have it in Pierre during session? When soon to be former North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson is there he will be looking for opportunities.
I would like legislation requiring the scorecards and other junk mail to include more than just the name of the PAC which sent it, they should actually identify the senders’ names and addresses.
Most recipients won’t bother to google the PAC to see who is actually responsible for those garbage scorecards. Make them put their names and addresses on them.
