  1. I hate to sound like a prude, but can’t our Attorney General do better than blue jeans, a shirt that he must have slept in, field boots, and, of course, no neck tie, when presenting a prestigious award??? The recipient isn’t wearing a neck tie either and hasn’t bothered to hitch up his khaki pants, which he’s wearing with a blue blazer. Informal is one thing, being a slob is another. Only the woman in the picture has the dignity and decorum the occasion merits.

    1. Really? They’re at the State’s Atty statewide meeting. They’re likely sitting in hotel banquet chairs or teaching meetings all yesterday and most of today. No one is requiring a coat and tie.

  2. It is the Awards Banquet at the Annual Meeting of South Dakota State’s Attorneys. It is the chief Law Enforcement Officer of South Dakota. Both are elected officials. What should our expectation be?

  3. No felonies prosecuted but kissed the right behind continuously and with distinction…small print
