From the AP Wire:
National Democratic Party funneling money to South Dakota
YANKTON, S.D. (AP) _ The South Dakota Democratic Party will be better funded -- thanks to the new national Democratic Party chairman, Howard Dean.
He's sending money to all 50 state parties.
State Executive Director Jason Schulte says it will allow the South Dakota party to hire three full-time positions – a legislative director, field director and communications director.
He says the state party has been badly understaffed and has had to rely on volunteers and activists.
Schulte says the money will help the party restart its grassroots organizing efforts.
North Dakota Democrats indicated they're getting 84-thousand dollars. Schulte says he expects South Dakota will get a similar amount.
