The $2 billion DM&E rail rebuilding project would create thousands of jobs for South Dakota and a solid transportation base to grow from. It's important to farmers and workers alike. It's the best opportunity this state has going right now. Gov. Mike Rounds and our whole congressional delegation support it.
When John Thune served in the House, he said he supported the project. When he went into the private sector, he helped push the project. He did what he said he was committed to in public life.
Former Gov. Bill Janklow, as a lobbyist-lawyer for the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., has joined forces with Minnesota Sen. Mark Dayton to fight against South Dakota's DM&E railroad project because Rochester doesn't like it.
When Bill Janklow served in the House, he said he supported the project. I am very disappointed in Mr. Janklow for working with the only town from Minnesota that opposes progress for the state of South Dakota.
It is hard to believe former Gov. Janklow would turn his back on South Dakota. I'm thankful our current governor has a lot more integrity than our last.
