Prayer and state

If one tries hard enough and is clever enough, one can find a federal judge to rule on just about anything. The Freedom From Religion Foundation, a group of atheists and agnostics based in Madison, Wis., filed a lawsuit asking Judge Barbara Crabb to order the government to cease from its annual National Day of Prayer proclamation. Last week, Judge Crabb ruled in the group’s favor. Congress established the day of prayer in 1952 and reaffirmed it in 1988. It occurs on the first Thursday of May.

S.D. governor: State can’t rely on federal money

South Dakota cannot rely on getting additional federal stimulus money to help balance next year’s budget, Gov. Mike Rounds said Thursday. Rounds said he and the governors of more than 40 other states have asked Congress to extend higher federal Medicaid payments for another six months, which would give South Dakota an extra $26 million in federal funds to replace state money next year. But he said the Legislature will have to pass a state budget in a couple of weeks without counting on any extra federal help.
