While Repubs in the Senate stonewall $1400 for ordinary struggling Americans, Kristi Noem and family waste no time and scoop up $600,000:
"A ranch belonging to Noem's family, Racota Valley Ranch Partnership, received $500,000, and a business operated by her brothers, Rock and Robb Arnold, received payments of just over $100,000, according to records on the grant program.
"The Legislature approved the grant plan in October,
but the family businesses benefitted from adjustments the Republican governor made. The plan initially capped grants at $100,000, but later in the month, with plentiful federal funds at their disposal, Noem’s administration adjusted the grant cap to $500,000."
There ought to be an investigation into the funding adjustments. This smells of self-dealing, which is a crime.
