From Facebook, after working to negotiate a better bill, US Senator Mike Rounds has stepped away from the Infrastructure measure because Democrats packed it with progressive mandates and clawbacks:

  1. Is he still so naive after being in government this long that he thought the Socialists could be trusted? If so, perhaps he needs to stand aside and let in some fresh, conservative voices.

  2. Thank you Senator Rounds. One of the many provisions in the bill federalizes part of the electric transmission line siting permit process which will be to the detriment of South Dakota landowners. The SD PUC worked to remove the provision but it remained in the bill on a tied amendment vote.

    1. I should clarify that I opposed the provision. There was not a formal commission decision on the issue.

  3. Two comments:

    1) A Democratic Republic depends on our elected members of Congress always open to do business with their colleagues. I applaud and greatly appreciate Senator Rounds honest efforts to live by the principles outlined by our Founders. “Conservative Voices” who only talk and work among themselves in the end are just ineffective echo chambers.

    2) I agree with Senator Rounds deciding to walk away in its current form. The infrastructure projects he supports should stand on their own merits as well as the agenda he opposes. There is no compelling need for them to melded together.

    1. I hope you really have never been elected to anything as one with legislative experience and initiative can not be this dumb.

      Despite his efforts to get a good bill, the final bill is one he can not support. If you really are in the Legislature, in addition to being dumber than a rock, it is clear you have never tried to make a bill better and failed the good fight.

  6. Senator Rounds, what changed in fore days? fore days on a trillion dollars? what changed in 4 days?
