After all the environmental infractions and legal trickery, Richard Millner's machinations and bad business practices may finally be brought to a halt by a state Department of Revenue going Al Capone on the Veblen dairies and citing them for tax evasion. Seems appropriate.
The prevailing wisdom among both local and State officials is that these places will bring economic prosperity with them.

Maybe getting cheated out of a few hundred thousand dollars has alerted those communities to reality.
ReplyDeleteI want to encourage everyone to write letters to politicians,your governor, local newspapers and anyone else that you can think of.
ReplyDeleteTell them that you are not happy with the business(Prairie Ridge Management and Rick Millner) which did NOT pay sales tax. This is just plain cheating the state of South Dakota. It just is not right.
That is a great idea Sandra.
