Governor’s Plan For Capitol-area Park Draws Criticism

Associated Press0

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Dozens of people are opposing Gov. Dennis Daugaard’s plan to change the look of Hilger’s Gulch park in South Dakota’s capital.

Daugaard late last month announced the initiative to change the vegetation at the park that has a mile-long lighted walking trail, flower gardens and a scenic view of the Capitol building. He says it will require less maintenance, reduce the use of chemical herbicides and save the state thousands of dollars.

About 40 people criticized the plan during an hour-long meeting in Pierre on Tuesday, saying they like the park as it is.

Recently retired state Bureau of Administration Commissioner Paul Kinsman said Daugaard might be receptive to a suggested smaller pilot project as a compromise. But he said the governor is committed to change in the park.
