Why didn't the Civic Center just make it harder for the scalpers to grab all the tickets? Maybe they need to spend a little on a software upgrade?

SD pays less for education than most states

"NORTHERN HILLS — When it comes to education spending, South Dakota is definitely in a slump and has been for quite some time. As a result, local school districts struggle to keep programming alive and teacher salaries competitive.
According to U.S. Census Bureau data assessed recently by the Black Hills Knowledge Network, South Dakota spends about a third less than neighboring states on education as a proportion of personal income.
Already last in the nation for teacher pay, South Dakota also ranked last regionally and 47th nationally in 2012 for its spending on K-12 education as a proportion of personal income, according to the most recent U.S. Census data available. "
This is ridiculous. Education is hugely important for every aspect of a person's life and for a community. We are hurting ourselves by pretending that taxes are evil or whatever.
