Treasury Department Honors Women With First Female Currency

(TheOnion) WASHINGTON—Saying it was time all Americans were equally represented, the U.S. Treasury Department announced Thursday that it would honor the nation’s women by introducing the country’s first female currency. “For too long, our currency has only been representative of half the country, but beginning today, women in the United States will finally be able to carry and use money that’s the same sex they are,” said Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, adding that the new female banknotes would feature softer green hues and a slightly smaller, shapelier form. “By introducing female currency into circulation, we are celebrating the strong and vital roles that women have played in shaping our nation. And when today’s girls see legal tender that is composed of both male and female bills, it sends a powerful message about our nation’s commitment to equality.” Lew followed his announcement by noting that the Treasury would introduce the first openly gay dimes into the economy as early as next year.

Canada Day Proclaimed in South Dakota

Governor Dennis Daugaard proclaimed February 18, 2015 Canada Day in South Dakota,

(kdltnews) Pierre SD - Government leaders from Alberta and Manitoba joined state lawmakers at the Capitol on Wednesday to celebrate the country's relationship with South Dakota.

It was a full house inside the Capitol as Consul General Jamshed Merchant greeted a joint session of the South Dakota House and Senate.

Through his address, Merchant explained the strong relationship between Canada and South Dakota and why the country is the state's number one trading partner.

Consul General Merchant said, "South Dakota and Canada share this immense relationship."

For 200 years, the United States has remained close to its friend from the north, and South Dakota has been a big part in helping the friendship flourish.

"A lot of Canadians love coming to South Dakota. Over 200,000 Canadians come visit a place like Mount Rushmore, but they leave money when they come. They leave lots of money in the economy,” said Merchant.

Putting money into the economy is a mutual deal between Canada and South Dakota.

Over $1 billion is accrued annually through trade between the U.S. and Canada, and a portion of that trade comes from over 28,000 South Dakota jobs.

Merchant said, "All the way from companies like Daktronics that make signs for hockey arenas, to fire engines from Rosenbauer, to companies that do manufacturing."

As the strong relationship continues to grow, February 18, 2015 was proclaimed Canada Day in South Dakota.

Nebraska Nice. Like "Minnesota Nice" but Nebraska. 

Sounds Fitting right?
