Seriously?
11 days after it was brought into the light on twitter by the Deputy Chief of the Washington Bureau of Business Insider Magazine, It appears that I’m the only one who wrote anything about South Dakota Democrats being fined $7200 as part of the financial fiasco which brought their party to it’s knees.
Again, seriously? Because two years ago, the financial mess was the hottest topic around.
Especially considering that it triggered a hard crash for the South Dakota Democrat Party with a cascade of resignations and austerity measures which led to at least the temporary shuttering of their offices. And arguably, problems from which the party has yet to fully recover, leaving it for dead on the side of the road just in time for the state’s redistricting process. Even liberal commentators talk about the state Democrat Party as something still needing to be revived.
Considering it dominated South Dakota political news over the past couple of years, I’m not sure how the state’s political media has decided to ignore it without even a passing notice.
In case you’d like to read the closing documents, you can read here and make your own judgement about the messy affair.
South Dakota Democrat Party 7200 Fine by Pat Powers on Scribd
There. Now you’ve gotten far more than you’re apparently going to get anywhere else when it comes to the state’s political media letting you hear a discouraging word about the Democrat Party.
Update.. in the midst of all of their financial issues, I think we all missed the fact the Dem party also appeared to also have been fined 5k for just not filing a report:

Good work Pat ! Keep doing it.
As a former Democrat the South Dakota Democratic Party needs to be put to rest after betraying what it had long stood for and betraying those life long Democrats many who are no longer with us who spent hours and their hard earned money donating to it. An Irish Wake would be an appropriate send off prior to a proper burial at Cavalry Cemetery in Mitchell.
The Socialist more like Marxist Party has replaced it but as the departing Comrade Cory Allen Heidelberger has found out is not selling very well in South Dakota.
This post is to the South Dakota Democrat Party as is a nickel being bounced off the head of a retarded kid in class.
It’s cringey.
