A couple weeks ago SDWC put together an excellent list of the top South Dakota political stories of 2006. The Associated Press has also prepared a list of the top South Dakota stories (not necessarily political news, but most of the results are). Here was their take:
Here are the year's top 10 news stories:
1. South Dakota voters defeat an abortion ban.
2. Gov. Mike Rounds orders a last-minute delay in the Elijah Page execution.
3. South Dakotans decide 11 ballot issues.
4. Sixty school districts sue the state over education funding.
5. A state senator from Flandreau is accused of groping a legislative page.
6. South Dakota suffers through a continuing drought.
(tie) The Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern coal train project gets final regulatory approval.
8. A philanthropist donates $70 million toward the Homestake science lab effort.
9. Ellsworth Air Force Base is picked for a financial services center.
10. Gov. Mike Rounds wins re-election.
Be sure to read the whole thing.
