Vermillion, SD—U.S. Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) released the following statement on the passing of former Governor and Congressman Bill Janklow:
I knew Governor Janklow for more than thirty years. He was one of the most colorful Governors in South Dakota’s history. We met during his first term as Governor and my first term in the South Dakota House. He was not afraid of controversy. I sometimes agreed with him, and sometimes disagreed—but I always respected him for his passionate sense of public service. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Mary Dean and their children.
