Blizzard Postpones Spearfish Election; Break for Boke?

The snow has me trading the classroom for the blog and the shovel today. The snow also has postponed the Spearfish, Lead, and Deadwood elections for one week. Spearfish mayoral candidate Dana Boke thus has one more week to work up the courage to talk about specific issues (Dana P. has a great suggestion!).

Boke also has an interesting campaign opening. As her opponent, Mayor Jerry Krambeck, noted in the March 27 candidates forum, he's flying to Germany at the end of this week. Barring a change in plans, Mayor Krambeck will thus be out of town when the election happens on Tuesday, April 16.

The municipal election delay also gives me some extra time to find out what anonymous group ran the anti-Boke ad in last night's Black Hills Pioneer. Stay tuned!

    yeah, it makes me wonder also, Cory. (although I sure have some ideas who it is!!!) The anti-Boke ad ran in Saturday's paper also - as well as there are anti-Boke radio ads (KDSJ, 95.9 FM and 101.9 FM - country and oldies stations ) running. Similar tone as the print ads, but one in particular had an interesting "edge". I'll paraphrase...."Boke needs to realize that being a mayor is more than just doing weddings"....or something to that effect. (no doubt a play on her "cheerleading" description.)

    Another interesting thing, I thought. Mondays are usually "letters to the editor" day in the Pioneer. Unless I missed it, there weren't any yesterday. The day before the election?? Seriously?
