[edit] Report shows S.D.'s need for more open government
"South Dakotans are quietly proud of the state's reputation for politeness and a willingness to help neighbors, friends and even strangers.
Run out of gas on a country road and you won't wait long until someone stops to offer help. Old people carrying groceries are usually aided by someone who opens a door or carries a bag or two to a car.
So it comes as something of a shock to hear the state is ranked 50th in integrity in a study by the Better Government Association. It ranked states based on government transparency, accountability, whistleblower protections, open records and campaign finance laws."
