It's a fair (no pun intended) use of stimulus money, provides jobs, spreads wealth, and all the good stuff that stimulus money is supposed to do. Why not use it in this way???<BR/><BR/>Actually I'm against all this stimulus porky pig, but it appears that it's a done deal and we are going in debt for it no matter what and the powers that be don't seem to care. So IMO the fair has as much right to it as anything else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-75248024527241969642009-03-03T16:44:00.000-07:002009-03-03T16:44:00.000-07:00Anon 12:33 is correct: Sioux Empire Fair gets $230...Anon 12:33 is correct: Sioux Empire Fair <A HREF="http://madvilletimes.blogspot.com/2008/08/south-dakota-state-fair-seeks-permanent.html" REL="nofollow">gets $230K from Minnehaha County</A>.caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-30548562041572301122009-03-03T11:33:00.000-07:002009-03-03T11:33:00.000-07:00"make it fair and treat the state fair like all ot..."make it fair and treat the state fair like all other fairs across our state, self-funded."<BR/><BR/>I don't believe that's correct.

I was sideswiped which damaged the door skin, fender and bumper, total was over $8000 and NO structural damage, but now damage disclosed on title. That isn't fair since there was nothing structural or frame damage, just cosmetics. Take off, reinstall and drive away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-43217201728634538302009-03-03T09:37:00.000-07:002009-03-03T09:37:00.000-07:00State subsidy funding for the state fair needs to ...State subsidy funding for the state fair needs to go away. They keep promising to make it self-sufficient, but like a cat looking for more milk, keep coming back for another $750,000 every year. Make it fair and treat the state fair like all other fairs across our state, self-funded.<BR/><BR/>Birth to three is a developmental program that would adversely affect young parents at a time when they need the most help.

It generates a lot of money flowing thru the fair and back into the community. <BR/><BR/>Makes more sense than a lot of other uses of "stimulus money." But is it even allowed as a use of stimulus funds? And what strings come along with it? Always gotta look for the strings cuz they are there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
