I oppose the merger of SD Department of Agriculture and the SD Department of Environmental and Natural Resources. I will vote NO, if you elect me.

 Governor Noem is proposing combining the Department of Agriculture with DENR.

I disagree with that, and I will vote AGAINST if I am elected Senator in District 20.

Look, state government is not "Slim Fast"  (tastes great, less filling)

You can't reduce your way to GREATNESS.

The trend of Republican Governors to combine Departments and "economize" is not good.

Agriculture looks after the food producers.  DENR is public health, environmental monitoring, natural resource assessment, abandoned wells, dam safety, waste management and water use...

As a Senator, I can look at the budget and say, Well, maybe this Department should stay the same, this department could be reduced 0.5%...

I think the only reason Gov. Noem wants to combine them, is to abandon environmental responsibility that is baked into our current statutes.

Agricultural producers should be helped.  Natural resources, well, that's what we are living on,right?  Land, drinking hopefully pure water, without pollutants.

Noem's lack of attention on masks, covid 19 Universal Testing, and free quarantine or isolation space for infected people basically shows me if you merge Ag and Natural Resources, you will not get a good result.

The professionals is both Departments need to stay there.

South Dakota government, to serve the people, should not be "Slim Fast."

Concentrate on your mission, grow businesses and Social businesses, then there will be plenty of tax revenue to support BOTH Departments.

I will vote AGAINST the merger of the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Natural Resources in the State Senate, if you elect me on November 3.

Change the world, create a better world, and do it with joy, every day!   

Dream big!

Vote Libertarian!
Vote for Alex Martin, District 20, State Senate!
Thank you very much!

Wisdom to prosper by

In this review of Building Social Business by Muhammad Yunus, they summarize his book with 2 succinct paragraphs: "In recent years Dr. Yunus has moved beyond just lending to the poor; his new  goal is to eliminate poverty entirely , and his method is to spread the practice of social business, a self-sustaining, “zero-loss, zero-dividend” business model that applies not only to microfinance but to any good or service provided to the poor to ensure communities become self-sufficient.  Building Social Business includes is the  step-by-step guideline for entrepreneurs to create their own social businesses , as well as its report on two more years of Grameen Bank’s joint venture social businesses."  https://ourgoodbrands.com/building-social-business/ The idea is huge:  eliminate poverty by creating a social business. It is a new kind of wisdom.   Instead of assuming that when you or I get rich, others get poor(zero sum thinking);  instead think t...

How Can Live Your Dream Every Day

Here are some great ideas from Dr. Yunus, 2006 Nobel Prize Winner.  He encourages us all to think in the best possible terms:   “Think and Act Like Job Creators” "Another area that Yunus is passionate about is creating a world without unemployment. He believes that we can create that world by encouraging the youth to think and act like job creators. He worries that today’s youth is only focused on seeking salaried jobs, rather than being able to think from an entrepreneurial perspective. This is especially a problem since the number of salaried jobs available has not kept pace with the demand in regions such as Bangladesh." “ A job is an old-fashioned idea from the twentieth century,” states Yunus. He believes that the popular idea of jobs did not exist until after the industrial revolution (with the arrival of current education system). To encourage the second generation of Grameen Bank loan-seekers to be entrepreneurial, he tells them, “How did your mother manage to create...
