Lastest on South Dakota Public Broadcasting Cuts: Holding Pattern

 Image via WikipediaMy source said that it is likely a House member but not necessarily someone on the Appropriations Committee who is asking for the cuts. And the list itself is all over the map, with it being real, virtual, or even non-existent. SDPB apparently was asked, as were a number of other state agencies, to put together a "doomsday" scenario based on certain levels of cuts. SDPB complied, giving the Rounds Administration and Legislators the information. My birdie also said they did not think the cuts were politically motivated but motivated because of the current state funding situation. I hope that is so. But from my time in Pierre and as a former SDPBer, that has seldom been the situation in my experience. Usually, cuts or even the elimination of funding, have come about because someone didn't like SDPB for any number of real or perceived wrongs or "agendas." I think this was Day 31 (of 40) for the gaggle under the dome, so still lots of time for lots of things--or absolutely nothing--to happen. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, maybe a rerun of the Lawrence Welk Show will soothe you while you wait. ![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=629f2062-e32b-4fbc-84de-6856a8b6c6d2)
