I was noticing on the Argus Leader web site this morning that there’s a huge auction coming up on Saturday in Brandon. I’ve got family from out of state in town this weekend, otherwise, I’m sure I’d be there.
And I have to admit I smiled when I saw that included in the property were “several megaphones.”

MARY DEAN JANKLOW, Owner
I’m sure there will be many fond memories discussed this weekend at the sale involving our former Governor, who no one can deny was a “take charge” guy, with many photos of him with a megaphone in hand.
Just to make sure there isn’t any confusion. Most of that list is likely his DJ equipment.
That said, I think it amusing to recall Governor Janklow’s take charge personna and expectation everyone listened to him.
He was a man who made a difference.
Wild Bill was a DJ? DJ like Tiesto? Calvin Harris? Spinderella? Cut it up one time. Oooh Oooh Oooh.
What rock were you hiding under? “BJ the DJ” did a lot of charity events between his first and second set of terms.
Not so much a rock but I was living in another state during his time off from governing. Too bad I missed out!
I remember someone told me once that Bill Janklow donated his governor salary to a charity. It sounds like something he would do. Like him or hate him, he knew how to get things done for SD.
Digger that was because he was accused of making real money with insider trading and short selling video lottery stock.
Outhouse, from what I understand, you are confirming he did indeed give his salary to charity. I am taking it you would not say this unless you had some knowledge. As for why you believe he gave his salary to charity, as long as I have followed Bill Janklow in the news, there have been countless accusations made about him. When he ran for AG, he had to deal with baseless accusations about his time on the reservation. He had to deal with the Arduous Liar all during his career attacking him. From what I have seen of his career as governor of the state of SD, he had the interests of South Dakota at heart. One can say he did not like people who told him something could not be done. He saw a problem and tried to figure out how it could be solved. And many problems were solved with his leadership. You may not have liked him, but he did get things done for this state.
