(((YEE HAH---I’m Bill Zortman and Welcome to Our It’s YOUR Agri Business Show---and show 51-94 in our ORIGINAL It’s YOUR Business Series.)))

 

   As we get closer to election day---yes you’ll hear more and more of the candidates—that like to be heard thru our radio shows---whether it be the Business Show 9-10---or the Agri Business Show 10-11----no shortage of requests to explain what they are doing as a South Dakotan—or in this case this morning—being an elected official—such as Governor Larry Rhoden---

 

  Governor Rhoden always good to have candidates join us---and in working with your team---they had some suggestions on what they wanted the audience to hear you explain----the wordage they are hearing from you

 

You know what I love about this truck? It’s built for the long haul – just like South Dakota. And I’m working to keep it that way,” said Governor Larry Rhoden in the ad while standing in front of his old pickup truck.

 

In the ad, Governor Rhoden highlights the following results that he has delivered:
Cutting property taxes by the most in South Dakota history;
Reducing crime – including by double digits in many categories;
Investing in education, including groundbreaking advancements in career and technical education;
Investing in rural healthcare through the Rural Health Transformation Program; and
Keeping taxes the 2nd lowest in America.

 

“Some folks want you to think South Dakota’s broken. It’s not. Things aren’t perfect – but here, we fix things,” continued Governor Rhoden. “Good things last when you take care of them. And we’re just getting started.”

 

    The Race---what you see where you will be centering your message before election day----and what you hear from South Dakotans---

----------Governor Rhoden------------

 

------Governor Rhoden—thanks for the visit—know our time is your time—just let us know…

 

   Casey Crabtree has joined us this morning----Casey since he dropped from the candidate list—has been helping us understand this race and others in South Dakota..

 

   Casey---you have heard Dusty this week—now the Governor—your thoughts on what they are saying—the direction they are taking and what they want South Dakotans to remember about who they are as candidates---and what their differences are---

-----------------Casey-------------------

   What issues do you think will produce the winner here in South Dakota?

------------Casey--------------------
