VIEWPOINT | Mount Rushmore could be home to America’s next great monument
Guest column by state Rep. Tim Goodwin-District 30
It was five years ago on the Fourth of July that we had the huge fireworks show at the “Shrine of Democracy” Mount Rushmore. My wife, Marcia, and I had the opportunity to attend that spectacular event.
I enjoy representing the home of not only the two gigantic monuments — those being Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse. I like to mention that all the features in a South Dakota tourism brochure are in District 30, except for that big bird feeder in Mitchell. My good friend, Dale Bartscher, really gets perturbed when I say that because he thinks I’m making fun of the Corn Palace (big bird feeder); and yes, I am!
