What else should people know about your site:

The Madville Times has grown to become one of the leading progressive members of the South Dakota blogosphere. I have kept a dogged commitment to hyperlocal issues, providing the only video coverage of and commentary on Madison city commission, county commission, and school board elections. I have also provided extensive coverage of the state legislature, The Madville Times does branch out to national issues, but usually does so with a focus on how those issues affect South Dakota specifically and how our Congressional delegation is voting.
