And then...there's this:

Submit an idea for $7K phone sculpture

"The South Dakota Office of Highway Safety wants a transportable, outdoor sculpture that is made of 254 cell phones, to bring awareness to the dangers of distracted driving.​

The Highway Safety will provide recycled cell phones as the sculpture’s primary medium.​

One artist will be selected to complete this project and awarded $7,000 in compensation to cover additional materials and labor costs."​

I was thinking of a sculpture of a near-sighted deer, complete with broken eyeglass frames.

Impeachment investigation file to get released on Monday

"The report will... include the full investigation file conducted by the state Department of Public Safety and North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation, minus redactions. There are 72 redactions total, which include personal information and gruesome photos of the victim’s body."

Well... no surprises:

State AG Who Killed a Man Manages to Dodge Impeachment

"A special investigative committee of the South Dakota House of Representatives emerged from a closed-door meeting Monday to recommend against impeaching Ravnsborg.

A special investigative committee voted 6-2 against recommending impeachment, with six Republicans voting no, and the two Democrats favoring it."​

Won’t be impeached or removed, which IMO is a grave injustice to Mr. Boever and those who loved him. South Dakota AG will NOT be impeached after killing man in hit-and-run | Daily Mail Online

Or even lose his license. The lack of ethics is appalling. Old boys network wins again.

Driver's license or law license, this incident (and Atty Ravnsborg's driving record) should both be cancelled.

AG Jason Ravnsborg's investigation files could take days to release

"Crash reports, interrogation interviews, photographs and other materials used by a group of lawmakers recommending that South Dakota's attorney general not be impeached remain hidden from public inspection.

"When we stop being pestered by legislators and the public," Legislative Research Council Director Reed Holwegner responded to an inquiry by the Argus Leader..."

OMG, bbb

Kristi Noem, potential 2024 contender, says Biden's leadership style has emboldened Putin - CNNPolitics

My personal belief is that Ravnsborg will doom Governor Kristi Noem's future plans. We have not heard the last of this.

Ravnsborg named in 27 traffic stop reports across 3 states resulting in 12 tickets, 15 warnings

My heart aches for Boever's family.

From blogger Cory Allen Heidelberger who has a number of interesting posts about JR and the crash on his site, Dakota Free Press (one of the sites JR was visiting at the time of the crash):

Ravnsborg Chief of Staff Thought Sheriff Didn’t Do His Job Night of Crash; Sheriff Ignored Boever’s Flashlight, Paid Great Attention to Boever’s Truck:

"Sheriff Volek showed more curiosity about a vehicle abandoned in the ditch well ahead of the site of the crash than he showed in an unusual light at the edge of the road amidst the trail of crash debris, a light which he dismissed with an illogical explanation."​

YES! (Though I think it has to clear the state senate): Jason Ravnsborg: South Dakota House votes to impeach attorney general - CNNPolitics

And JR wrote a letter to lawmakers: SD AG Jason Ravnsborg slams Gov. Kristi Noem ahead of impeachment vote

"The letter included multiple errors and appeared to have been a draft that was not completed before its release. In one sentence, words that were supposed to have been deleted appeared as strike throughs. In the opening sentence he had the wrong date of the accident."

Oh... I almost forgot: today's his birthday!

A not-so-happy birthday for S.D. Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg, as House considers his impeachment today — The South Dakota Standard

And the more I think about it, the more I realize the karmic justice of it all:
on his day of birth, he's getting impeached for ending someone's life.

It's not legal justice but it is, at least karmic justice.

Hope the state senate will do the right thing for political justice.
