Mrs. Rohde asked a question about staying consistent and the ability to yield time at this meeting since they allowed it at the previous meeting. The Chairman's answer was interesting -

Jan 8, 2024, Public Comment for Meade 46-1 School Board Meeting

We saw a welcome change of a county commission praying before their meeting started. This comes on the heels of the Butte County Chairman & self proclaimed Christian, James Ager, saying that praying before a meeting would offend someone in response to a citizen's request to start every meeting with a prayer.

Witnessing this exchange between the Butte County State's Attorney and the Planning Board was interesting because she said that she didn't receive notice of public hearing concerning her neighbor subdividing their land. I thought it was ironic since she said she didn't receive notice, yet, from what I understand, she didn't encourage the county commission to do public hearings/notices for the surrounding property owners of the marijuana businesses/grow farms when they were up for approval by the commission all last year. The public didn't know what was coming, no notice of what was being built, and was not heard until it was too late, and the SA and commission didn't seem to really care.

Ms. Engelhart is campaigning for National Committee Woman, in which she'd represent us in SD at the national level. She had good words to say here during a question and answer session at a recent Butte County Central Committee meeting.

We are witnessing a time where those who took an oath as servants of the American citizens are now the elite class who enjoy more job security, better pay and benefits all while having to work less than their private sector counterparts, all on the tax payers' dime.

During these days of a lot of fear mongering, overflow of so much information and corruption in every area of our government and nation, it's far too easy to succumb to despair. But, I encourage you to pray for a spirit of courage in the name of Jesus, our Savior, and remember that the Cross is still the Answer and His Blood is still the Blood: He still conquers death and reigns as King over our nation, states, counties, cities and families, wherever He is invited. Whenever you feel overwhelmed and prone to despair; whenever you are frantic looking for an answer to conquering the corruption you witness at any level, remember that the Cross is still the answer. Quiet your mind and focus on that and Jesus' sacrifice for us and the whole world. God wins every time. He reigns. He is acting and will act according to His Will.

At a recent Butte County planning board meeting, during a discussion on what the proper process is to extend the stay of a board member who is not seeking re-election, it seems that the Butte County State's Attorney advised that the said member was able to just stay on without going through the official appointment of the county commission. A sitting planning board member then corrected the State's Attorney. This leaves tax payers like me wondering why we pay people in roles like this a 6 figure salary when they don't seem to know the basics of law and process?

This occurred at the Meade 46-1 school board meeting in Sturgis, SD on 12/11/23. Moms For Liberty were taken off the agenda and told instead to speak during public comment. Others signed up to yield their time to ensure the speaker had enough time to do her whole presentation. Teachers and students spoke up in rebuttal of her presentation despite the facts she presented. Ironically, we were informed that the recording the school did of this meeting had "technical difficulties" and therefore no recording exists of this meeting, leaving this video the only existing recording. From a person in attendance: I want to let you know that we have a huge war in Meade 46-1 school district. Last night at the regular December board meeting, Moms For Liberty brought a short presentation. The domestic terrorists came out of the woodwork ( mostly teachers in the district) they have and are continuing to indoctrinate and destroy the lives of students. They have groomed and continue to groom students into proliferating their communist ideals. It was awful. I applaud the people who stood up against the tyranny. I'm beyond appalled and livid. The education system is broken and sadly, I believe it's beyond salvage. These domestic terrorists have infiltrated the board, the administration, teachers, and staff. They were mocking the people who stood up for righteousness. It was like demons squealing over the death Jesus, not knowing that He was going to rise in 3 days. At this point, I believe the school district needs to be scrapped and destroyed in order to prevent any spread of the disease called wickedness. If those staff members are grooming these students in classes what are they doing to those students outside of classes? This is way beyond being shocked. If I had kids of school age in this district, I would be removing them this morning. I believe the reason homeschooling is gaining so many students is because the entire education system is broken. It's all indoctrination, no education.

How did our civil/public servants become the elites in our nation? I share my experiences as to a possible answer to that question, and what we can start to do to change that.

This introductory episode covers my story with getting involved in my local government, how We, The People, of South Dakota on Facebook started followed by the goals and expectations of what this podcast is all about.

This interview is a conversation with a local parent of a high school graduate who was a part of the group of students that our Butte County State's Attorney brought charges against for a high school prank.

Citizens fight back by sharing the whole truth that the majority of Butte County citizens haven't been told by our county government concerning the cannabis laws in South Dakota, how all citizens are not being fairly represented or heard at the local level, and how our tax dollars aren't being properly managed and spent for our benefit by the Butte County Commission. Grab some coffee and find a comfy place to sit to watch my interview with a cowboy, a farmer, and a retired law enforcement officer who have all worked together to help their fellow citizens know the truth of what's been going on in Butte County, SD, and how we all can help with the solutions offered to take back our county for The People. In the end, God wins!
