The old west story continues… “Robert Ford, who killed Jesse, was a James’ gang member. Mr. Howard was the alias that James lived under in Saint Joseph, Missouri at the time of his killing.
While this isn’t an “old west” story, there are some similarities. Under cover of darkness (anonymity) some dirty little coward is attempting a political character assassination of SD Representative Taffy Howard.
An anonymous text was sent to Rapid City voters, picturing Rep. Howard with Leftist Democrat leaders like VP Harris, asking why Howard has joined them in attacking the South Dakota Governor. That would be bad enough on its face, but beyond that false imagery, everything insinuated in the text was false. This was a political hit, plain and simple.
Representative Taffy Howard is an honorable public servant who is being targeted by some for asking a legitimate question. Her “crime” is asking for information on the cost of security for the South Dakota Governor. That would seem to be a reasonable question. Even more so, since Rep. Howard is a member of the Joint Appropriations Committee, which deals specifically with State expenditures and budgeting issues.
Representative Howard isn’t guilty of any “crime”, and certainly not attacking the Governor. It’s is simple, legitimate question that deserves an answer.
And the person or persons responsible for the political “hit” should be held accountable.
