Guest column by Dana Dykhouse
In response to recent objections about CJ Schwan’s legally hiring South Dakota’s former commissioner of economic development a year after leaving state employment, I have only one response: What are you even talking about?
There’s nothing unseemly about attracting a multi-billion dollar business tied to the beloved Schwan’s food business that South Dakotans have known for generations.

The negative claims made couldn’t be more off-base. The entire process and everyone involved with it followed the letter of the law from beginning to end.
