On sale December 5: one modern, slightly used beef packing plant, fully loaded, just add beef and make burgers! Plus scenic views of beautiful Aberdeen, South Dakota, and the Brown County prairie.
The bankrupt Northern Beef Packers project has made $152 million in EB-5 visa purchases and state and local tax dollars disappear. The plant itself is valued at $115 million dollars. But on December 5, you can walk into this state-of-the-art money pit for the low low price of $12.75 million. That's pennies (11.1 pennies, to be precise) on the dollar!
Act now! Supplies are limited! Get your piece of South Dakota economic development boondogglery today!
I'm interested to see who ends up buying this, and what the actual sale price is. Seems to me as someone is going to get one heck of a deal.
BUT WAIT! If you order now, we will double your order and all you pay are shipping costs.
Does the untimely and tragic death of Mr. Benda ( by what appears to be a suicide ) tie into this somehow?
Bret, Benda's death is strange, and you ask a provocative question. I haven't seen any published details saying it sounds like suicide, though the awkward lack of details parallels other publicized suicide cases. I am curious...
...what criteria trigger the Attorney General's involvement in the investigation of the death?
...what was Benda doing in Lake Andes? Could this be a hunting accident?
...when was he shot?
...did he have any information that would have been useful in the Northern Beef Packers bankruptcy that now is inaccessible?
opening pheasant season and found in a grove of trees......and you guys jump to suicide?
Where do you guys come up with this stuff?
Hey, I'm not jumping to suicide. I thought hunting right away, too. But it's evidently not a typical story of out with a group, one guy fires, another guy gets hit, because the stories are saying he was found. The reports are using a lot of passive voice to avoid saying who did what, suggesting we have no idea who did what. If it was hunting, if it was hunting, it would appear it was either an accident with his own weapon while he was out alone, or maybe a stray bullet from a deer hunter who had no idea there was another guy out in yonder shelterbelt.
But I'm not jumping, just wondering. And why does the Governor direct questions to the AG and not the Charles Mix County sheriff?
DB he either got Cheneyed, committed suicide, or fell on his gun, take your pick. The first two mean a crime was committed in this state. The last one was a bad hunting accident. Lets face it, dead is dead.
