Indivisible 605 gathers in support of VA workers and veterans
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – South Dakota veterans and the concerned citizens gathered in support of VA workers and veterans on Friday.
The march took place from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. on the 22nd Street sidewalk near Spellerberg Park and the VA entrance.
Indivisible 605 invited the public to join them in supporting VA workers facing job cuts and advocating for veterans’ care.
“During the campaign, he said repeatedly that he supported veterans, as did our South Dakota Congressional delegation. Now, when it’s come time to show up and do something, they’re not. They’re deserting us,” said Vietnam veteran Lloyd Schipper.
According to their Facebook page, Indivisible 605 is dedicated to promoting South Dakota values from a platform of inclusion and equality and utilizes non-violent and polite pressure to defend liberty against the current administration’s authoritarian, nationalist tendencies.
This gathering had a permit from Sioux Falls to assemble legally.
The Associated Press reported that the Department of Veterans Affairs plans on cutting 80,000 jobs to return VA to its staffing levels in 2019.

Tim Begalka seeks re-election to South Dakota Senate
Clear Lake businessman Tim Begalka is running for re-election to the South Dakota Senate for District 4. Begalka served two terms in the State House and two terms in the Senate.
He and his wife Rhonda live in Clear Lake. Their have three adult children also live in the state.
Begalka has owned Sodak Gardens, a local greenhouse and nursery, for the past 30 years. The business was started by his late father Leon Begalka in 1954. Begalka is a graduate of Clear Lake High School and South Dakota State University, and is a fifth generation Deuel County resident.
While in the legislature, Begalka served on the agriculture, education and commerce committees and was vice-chairman of the Judiciary Committee. In his release he said he has always looked out for the “little guy,” whether that be an individual, family, township, small-town, farm, business or school. He is a defender of property rights, the 2nd amendment and the right to life, he said in a release.
“While in Pierre, I frequently witnessed the bigger businesses, schools, and government entities try to take advantage of the little guys,” Begalka said in a release. “The big guys already have more money, power, numbers, and lobbyists. The little guys need a Senator with a backbone to stand up for them. That’s what I promise to continue to do, represent the citizens of District 4.”
He has never lost an election, and his winning philosophy, he said, is “Always tell the truth, and try to be nice to everyone”.
Begalka will be on the ballot for the June 2 Republican Primary. In order to vote in that primary, you need to be a registered Republican in District 4 by May 18th. District 4 includes all of Deuel, Grant, and Hamlin Counties, greater Codington, southeastern Roberts, and all of Clark County except the southwest corner.
