Denise Ross (Denise! Hello, O returning jewel of the South Dakota blogosphere!) gets an e-mail from Kristi Noem today (maybe yesterday) announcing that Kristi Noem has finished cleaning up the kitchen from that big roast and is ready to talk education and No Child Left Behind at public meetings. We've already missed one meeting, this morning in Milbank. But Noem lists three more today, tomorrow, and Friday:

Got a beef with the Congresswoman? Get to those meetings today in Watertown, Thursday in Lennox, and Friday at Vermillion! Your notes, pix, and video are welcome!
p.s.: Gee, could the Congresswoman maybe use her website to announce these events a little earlier? The last event I see posted on her official Events page today is a "constituent work week" on January 31. Nothing about this week's meetings on Twitter, nothing on Facebook....
all should go ask her specific quesions and expect specific answers.
Oh that is probably why she doesn't want us to know ahead of time.
This is a state issue rather than a federal issue. But if Kristi does the leg work on this they can find out if the cut for the sake of cutting program is working without any local legislator looking real bad. They know it is not good. If a fourth of the states schools are now going to a four day week when kids do not have real long attention spans, they know it is a disaster waiting to happen. Kids need reasonable length days and all five to keep up.
Probably just Noem making an attempt to display her "education committee" chops.
Hey Kristi lets have a town hall meeting I have alot of seniors who want to toalk to you about you cutting there medicare, bet next you go after social security to lets have one I will help set it up contact CH were ready to go.
All Hat...No Cows!!!
Sold them, so how do you have a ranch without cows or sheep? In that broad definition then I am a rancher as well since I own pastureland but no cattle.
I guess whatever sells to the public. Get along little doggies..
Roger, you are right on jurisdiction. For Republican Kristi Noem, a discussion about No Child Left Behind should be simple: what do we do to repeal it and turn control back to the states? But I'll bet she's talking about new ways for Washington to control the decisions local teachers and school boards make. Not very conservative!
