From the Argus Leader blog:
We said yesterday that former Gov. and Rep. Bill Janklow arrived in Pierre driving a new Escalade.
He corrected that today - in the lengthiest conversation he’s had with Argus Leader reporters in years.
He said he’s had the Escalade for several years and that it was a 1973. Did they make Escalades in 1973? He showed an unsigned vehicle registration form as proof.
“Look at it,” he said. “But I might have faked it.”
Janklow said it was important to correct the misinformation.
“The public hangs on every word the Argus Leader says, and when you get it wrong, you just screw them up,” he said.
He added that it was common for the Argus Leader to get it wrong.
It wasn’t a pleasant conversation, but it was a conversation - without profanity. That’s progress.
