The goal of this scorecard is simple: make government transparent to the people they represent. History has proven that free people are capable of extraordinary things—but many current laws hold South Dakotans back from truly thriving. That’s why our growing community of activists across the state are fighting every day to make the Mount Rushmore State a better place to live, work, and raise a family. We support legislation that enhances liberty and opportunity and oppose legislation that restricts those two concepts. As such, the bills listed in this scorecard reflect that. What you won’t see are grades or scores for individual legislators. What you will see is a description of issues and legislation with how our legislators voted during the two years that they served in this term. We hope this information helps you stay informed about how your Senators and Representatives have voted on important issues. If nothing else, it will serve as a basis for your conversations with them. We trust that policymakers are working to remove barriers that make it more difficult for South Dakotans to achieve their full potential and believe this tool will help shape their thinking toward that.

  • Black Hills Bridges Therapeutic Foster Homes Take Shape
    2020 VOLUME 69 - ISSUE 1 Black Hills Bridges Therapeutic Foster Homes Take Shape The Black Hills Building Bridges of Hope and Healing capital campaign to build two therapeutic foster homes (one for six boys and one for six girls) and four double-occupancy independent living apartments is well underway. The first home, seen above, will be a home for girls. The home is scheduled to open during the summer of 2020. To date we have raised $2,213,687.03 of the $3 million campaign. We need to raise an additional $300,000 to begin construction on the second home. Foster Homes are Building Bridges for Meet Our New Board Changing Lives Boys in Mitchell Members Pg. 2 Pg. 3 Pg. 5 605-996-2486 www.abbotthouse.org A glimpse into an abused child’s mind Recently, the world has been awakened again to the reality of our vulnerability. The Coronavirus outbreak reminds us that we are not in control, and it has left many of us feeling anxious or even scared about our future. Although the facts and opinions seem to change daily, I think most would agree that we all have thought about loved ones, our investments and what tomorrow may bring. At Abbott House, we are helping children who have lived with this feeling of vulnerability for much of their lives. Not about this virus, but about their lives. You see, children who have lived through abuse, neglect, and other negative events understand this feeling of not being in control. Not knowing if you will eat today or who might end up at your house tonight are things some children have to deal with.
