Thank you, Mike. I was born and raised in Belle Fourche, have lived here sixty years, and I totally agree. Some say we should've had East Dakota and West Dakota instead of North Dakota and South Dakota. Moving the capitol to Sioux Falls would ruin Pierre's economy while doing West River residents a great injustice.

Strictly looking at where the population of South Dakota lives, Huron would rightfully be our state capital. Unfortunately a mistake was made 100 years ago that we're now stuck with. Stone's been set, and a $150 million renovation isn't a good enough reason to undo it, especially if we're talking about a move to Sioux Falls.

During the last economic downturn every county in SD had an increase in Food-stamps except Hughes.

Debating the relocation os the SD capital is an exercise in sophistry.

Better effort is spent debating the number of toes on a hog’s hoof.
