But We Did Get an "A" in Crony Capitalism!

More evidence of the sad state of affairs of open government in South Dakota:

Can you say “Governor’s Club”?  I knew you could.

Read from the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier: State gets ‘F’ for governor finances openness

Washington was the only state that got an A grade in the report. Eight states got a B and 20 got a C or a D.

All of Iowa’s neighbors got low grades. Wisconsin and Missouri both got a D, and Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota all got an F.

And just because we live in a bad neighborhood doesn’t justify a bad grade or opaque government.  Just because our neighbor lets his dogs shit in everyone’s yards and puts old cars up on blocks in the front yard doesn’t mean we have to.
