Gov. Noem, Black Hawk matters.
Lt Gov. Roden, people in Meade County, South Dakota, are hurting.
People in Hideaway Hills in Black Hawk can’t live in their homes. The governor and legislators are hiding behind legal proceedings rather than helping South Dakotans.
Hideaway Hills needs resolution. Their neighborhood is unsafe. They found their homes are built on an abandoned mine once owned by state of South Dakota. A mine not properly reclaimed for housing. The land was reclaimed for pasture.
You said to the folks in Hideaway Hills on a teleconference spring of 2020 “we feel for you.” Governor, you went to the mansion. You went to sleep knowing your house would not collapse into the earth. The people of Black Hawk don’t know that. People in Hideaway Hills worry, when they send their children play in their yards, will the land collapse around them? A gentleman was mowing his lawn as his lawn was collapsing behind him.
People of Hideaway Hills are waiting for a resolution.
South Dakota has the funds to help these people — a mining reclamation fund with hundreds of millions of dollars. Do the right thing for South Dakota.

Im guesss if it was reclaimed for pasture land maybe it should have stayed in pasture land. Some developer seen a quick buck and converted it and didnt tell anyone. The stste shouldnt be involved at this point. Go after the company that developed it. Dosnt seem to hard to figure out.
Always someone else's fault so government should bail me out.
