Jack Billion had a great press conference today where he really handed it to Mike Rounds on education. Under Rounds, South Dakota is ranked 51st in teacher pay. 51st!!! That is just embarassing and explains why our schools are failing.
Anyway, Jack promised that as governor he will lower his pay to the 51st lowest for a governor in America (right now Rounds is either 36th or 37th). He will only raise his pay when the teachers of South Dakota have their pay raised. So if the teachers go up up to 48th in the nation, so will the governor.

This is a great idea and really shows that Jack knows how important education is for South Dakota.

Alan Keyes is in town working for the right wing and we need a leader like Jack to fight back.
