Monday's MDL brings us the first Legislative Reports from our District 8 representatives. Rep. Gassman (D-Canova) makes this rather impenetrable statement:
South Dakota has reached the goal we would wish for our nation, that being energy self-sufficiency [Rep. David Gassman, "Legislative Report," MDL, 2008.01.14, p. 3].
Maybe Canova's Central Farmer's Co-op is running on pure ethanol and keeping customers warm with a corn stove (that would be cool!), but the whole state of South Dakota has reached energy self-sufficiency? So we're not importing any coal -- or looking to import more -- from Wyoming? We're telling Hyperion they can build their silly oil refinery elsewhere? We're all biking to work?
Probably just one of those verbal slips, maybe just a word left out at the keyboard while tryign to do three things at once. But better check the energy file in your campaign debate book, Dave, just in case there's a District 8 primary....
(But stay tuned -- Rep. Olson's report gets what's coming later this morning!)
