Marshall Mitchell: Mitchell City Council to consider permit for townhouses across from Cabela's
Apr. 20—MITCHELL — During its regular meeting on Monday, April 21, the Mitchell City Council will consider staggering the mayoral and council election cycles, approving a contract with the Chamber of Commerce for use of the Corn Palace as a gift shop in 2026 and purchasing additional property for the Mitchell Regional Landfill at $3.48 million.
Acting as the Board of Adjustment, the Mitchell City Council will review the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation to approve a conditional use permit for multi-family dwellings in a Highway Oriented Business District.
If approved, the location will be the future home of a 10-unit townhouse development to be constructed by Jeremy Jensen of Jensen Design Build at the east corner of East Spruce Street and Urbana Drive south of Cabela's.
The townhome development will feature two buildings, each containing five townhome units. ach unit will include two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an attached, finished, two-stall heated garage with floor drains. A private driveway will allow access to the townhouse parking via East Spruce Street.
Pending approval, construction is to start this spring and finish by the end of the year.
"Our homes are not tied to income requirements," Jensen told the Mitchell Republic. "We are able to work with our customers and their budget requests to be able to get them into affordable housing."
In October 2023, this parcel was rezoned from urban development to highway business, according to City Planner Mark Jenniges. The parcel, south of East Spruce Street, is outside city limits and will need to be annexed in order to receive city water and sewer.
"Historically, we've done 20% to 30% of new residential housing in Mitchell in the last four or five years," Jensen said. "We're doing mini affordable housing."
In addition to considering staggering city election cycles, the gift shop contract and a landfill purchase, the council will also
consider approving the Mitchell School District's request to vacate North Winsor Street,
and approving speed and alcohol checkpoint grants for the Mitchell Police Department.
The council will also convene as the Board of Adjustment for Doug and Heidi Gehrke for a variance permit for a 4,600 building at 304 N. Mattie St.
A full agenda can be read on the
city's website.
The council meeting starts at 6 p.m. on Monday, April 21 at 612 N. Main St.

The governor's race wakes up
Presented by MIND YOUR BUSINESS — California is overtaxed, strangled by red tape and too darn pricey — so say prominent Democrats running for governor. Of the six gubernatorial hopefuls (including two Republicans) on stage for the California Business Outlook Dinner last night in Sacramento, the harshest barbs about the state's economic health arguably came from members of the party that has held unfettered power at the Capitol for years. 'This is the worst state for business in the United States of America,' said Antonio Villaraigosa, the former Los Angeles mayor, landing one of his bigger applause lines of the night. Yes, yes, the audience was a large roomful of Chamber of Commerce members, so denouncing regulations is not exactly going out on a limb. But the way the candidates broached California's affordability crisis and other issues offered some important revelations about the state of this governor's race (at least as it stands with Kamala Harris still undecided on a run): BUH-BYE BERNIECRATS? Raising the minimum wage and increasing taxes on corporations — policies that are typically red meat for Democratic base voters — got a noticeably cool reception from the four Democrats on stage. Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis was the only contender to unabashedly back raising the statewide minimum wage to $20 an hour, arguing that not doing so is akin to 'throw[ing] poor people under the bus.' As for raising taxes to deal with the state's current budget crunch — an option floated by labor groups and some Democratic lawmakers — Toni Atkins, the former legislative leader, was the only Democrat to even consider the possibility, taking pains to specify it was 'absolutely a last option.' It was a notable contrast from last month's gathering at the California Labor Federation, where most Democrats clambered over each other to cozy up to organized labor (one exception: Villaraigosa, who seemed to relish saying no to labor's face and opposing unemployment benefits for striking workers). But it's clear that, so far, no candidate has seized the progressive banner, tapping into the left flank that was galvanized by national figures like Sen. Bernie Sanders or Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Former Orange County Rep. Katie Porter, who pundits sometimes place in the progressive lane, seemed eager to shed any perceptions that she was Elizabeth Warren 2.0. She talked about attracting tech jobs and 'winning the AI race,' which would be anathema to labor unions that are leading the charge for more regulation. She spoke sympathetically about the challenges facing businesses, lamenting the 'regulatory death by 1,000 papercuts.' Speaking to Playbook after the forum, Porter pointed to a recent proposal by state Sen. Steve Padilla that would have required plastic bottles to be manufactured with attached caps as an example of small-bore legislating that's missing the forest for the trees. 'LA is literally on fire, and that is what a legislator is working on,' Porter said. 'I would love to work with that legislator on his goal of reducing plastic waste. … He's focusing on the wrong thing. I want him to think bigger.' TRUST THE PROCESS: Despite President Donald Trump's unpopularity in California, Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco didn't appear all that interested in putting daylight between themselves and the Republican in the White House. Hilton, the Fox News personality, defended tariffs as a chance to lure back manufacturing to the U.S., while Bianco, the Riverside County sheriff, offered a full-throated endorsement of Trump's stop-and-go trade policy — reducing concerns to 'fear mongering' and advising people to 'just wait and see what happens.' 'Just buckle down with what we have going on, let the president take care of it,' Bianco said. 'If he fails miserably, then somebody's going to come in and we're going to rescue it.' California's a tough state to make that case. And Democrats on stage all used the setup to tee off in front of the business crowd. Villaraigosa retorted that 'tariffs are taxes' to applause. The other Democrats agreed, with Kounalakis tearing into the duties as hard as anyone. She warned the growing expenses of imported drywall and appliances will jack up home costs and took a direct shot at Bianco. 'You're not a businessman. You're a government employee. You've got a pension. You're going to be just fine,' Kounalakis said, to a chorus of 'ooooo's' from the crowd. REAL TALK: Playbook could hear the candidates salivate over moderator John Myers' prompt to describe an instance when they told 'hard truths' to display leadership. It played right into Villaraigosa's wheelhouse about how he tangled with unions in Los Angeles. It gave Hilton a chance to tout his early activism against Covid-19 lockdown mandates. And it gave Atkins the opportunity to give some blunt talk to her audience about what she cast as a major obstacle to building housing in California — a reality that often gets elided when politicians make sweeping promises about building scores of new units. 'We've done some CEQA reform. We've done zoning regulations … If we could get housing built faster, we would do it,' she said. 'The problem is our communities that do not want density.' GOOD MORNING.

STATE CAPITOL DRIVER'S SEAT — California's latest battle over the gig economy will continue after the Assembly narrowly passed legislation to let Uber and Lyft drivers unionize. The measure was expected to pass given the clout of backers like SEIU California and Appropriations Chair Buffy Wicks. But the relatively narrow 44-vote margin, with numerous Democrats holding off, underscored how fights over app-based workers remain contentious years after they first came to dominate Sacramento's agenda. In that time, the struggle shifted from the courts to the Legislature to the ballot to the courts to the Legislature again. Now it moves to the Senate. Per Wicks, there are still 'many conversations to have.' — Jeremy B. White Number of the day 61.2 CENTS — That's how much California's gas tax will increase to per gallon, effective July 1. It's a slight hike from the current rate of 59.6 cents per gallon. The annual inflationary increase is baked into the state's fuel tax that lawmakers approved in 2017, which was signed into law by then-Gov. Jerry Brown. Republicans at the state Capitol tried — once again — this session to freeze the gas tax. They were rebuffed, per usual, by the Democratic supermajority. The tax pays for highway repairs and construction, as well as mass transit projects. CLIMATE AND ENERGY RAILROADED — California Democrats rallied around the state's high-speed rail project Wednesday after Trump announced he'd withhold $4 billion previously allotted for construction. Sens. Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff in a statement accused Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy of seeking to 'appease President Trump and punish Californians who didn't vote for him.' 'In Donald Trump's corrupt world, there's no need for high-speed rail when you can accept a $400 million jet from a foreign government,' the senators wrote. 'But for the millions of Californians left to pick up the tab for Trump's reckless trade wars and rising costs of living, today's announcement is devastating.' Read last night's California Climate on why Trump's attacks are strengthening Democrats' support for the controversial project. Top Talkers GOING TO THE MATT — San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan defended his Pay for Performance initiative on X after Councilmember David Cohen told the San Jose Spotlight that the effort came 'straight out of the toolkit of authoritarian governments.' Mahan's plan would tie the pay raises of some city employees to performance metrics, like in many private-sector jobs. 'I'm tired of my fellow Democrats crying authoritarianism whenever they disagree with something — that is something that shouldn't be taken lightly or used as a catchall for discontent,' the mayor wrote. PALM SPRINGS UPDATE — U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli says Daniel Park has been charged with providing and attempting to provide material to support a terrorist in connection with the car bombing at a Palm Springs fertility clinic last month, the Los Angeles Times reports. Park is accused of helping Guy Edward Bartkus, the other suspect who died in the attack, secure 270 pounds of ammonium nitrate.

10 things to know about a potential state prison site in Davison County
Jun. 4—MITCHELL — Great prisons come with great responsibility. The Mitchell City Council, during its regular meeting on June 2, unanimously approved a resolution expressing interest in the construction of a state correctional facility in Davison County. Here are 10 facts and questions discussed about the potential Mitchell prison site. No. 1: The city's resolution shows interest in the prison, but is non-binding The resolution was introduced by council member Tim Goldammer on the eve of a Project Prison Reset Task Force meeting to follow on Tuesday in Pierre. The resolution states that a correctional facility "would create significant economic opportunities, including the creation of stable, well-paying jobs, increased demand for local goods and services, and long-term infrastructure investments." In addition, the resolution cited interest in collaboration to ensure "public safety and community well-being" from local law enforcement, community leaders, the Davison County Commission and economic development organizations. The resolution also promises "open dialogue, careful planning and engagement with residents to ensure that concerns are heard and solutions are implemented." No. 2: A final prison decision will be made in July July 8 is to be the final meeting of the prison search commission, according to Lauritsen. Lauritsen says a special session of the South Dakota legislature will meet on July 22 in regards to the prison. No. 3: Wherever is chosen as a prison site will receive a boost in employee spending. Mitchell Area Development Corporation CEO Mike Lauritsen told the council that a prison will bring an estimated 441 new jobs with an annual payroll of $36.7 million and an average wage between $25 and $30 an hour. The annual operating budget for the new prison is estimated at $55 million per year. Lauritsen said a prison taking three to four years to build allows time to plan ways to address the state's second lowest unemployment rate, but did not go into specifics. "We have an opportunity in front of us to grow this community, for our businesses, for our housing developments," Lauritsen said. No. 4: A third-party ranked Mitchell fourth out of six potential prison sites. A study from Arizona-based Arrington Watkins Architects put the existing Lincoln County site owned by the South Dakota Department of Corrections as the top option. According to a Mitchell Area Development Corporation state prison proposal, a $2.88 million 160 acre potential prison site is located near the Mitchell Regional Landfill, and is owned by James River Farms. The location is outside of Mitchell city limits in Davison County. No. 5: According to Mitchell Mayor Jordan Hanson, those inmates who are from Mitchell will be released to Mitchell. Hanson addressed concerns about released prison inmates ending up in Mitchell, but did not have any official documents from the state promising that other parolees would not be released in Mitchell. Rehabilitation, space and counseling is a big expense for the state with a new prison site, according to Hanson, who says that the present state prison is overcapacity "As far as releasing prisoners, they're going to get paroled back to where they either got arrested originally, where they were tried, or into the larger cities," Hanson said. No. 6: The potential Mitchell site makes for an escape-friendly location. Davison County resident and Mitchell business man Scott Studer reminded the council that the South Dakota Department of Corrections wants the prison site to be away from Interstate 90, a highway, and a waterway. "We just put it at the corner of Jim River, I-90 and Highway 37," he said. "So good luck trying to get them to go for that." No. 7: Davison County residents are concerned that property taxes may rise. Davison County resident Michelle Studer said she lives within 2 miles of the proposed Mitchell site. "You're taking 160 acres out of the tax rolls," Michelle Studer said, "because I'm assuming that the prison is tax exempt. Where's that money going to come from?" No. 8: Davison County residents are concerned that they don't have a say in denying or approving the potential prison site. Mitchell resident Dwight Stadler expressed many concerns, the theme of which is that the prison would increase property taxes in Davison County. "Davison County voters should have a say on a ballot," Stadler said. No. 9. The construction itself will cost almost $1 billion, according to Lauritsen. The $825 million prison built could be placed near another high-cost construction site in Davison County. To put this in perspective, the High Plains Processing soybean plant south of Mitchell, still under construction, is estimated to cost about $500 million. In comparison to the proposed 160-acre prison site, the soybean plant sits on 148 acres. 10. City leaders acknowledge the prison is a dividing topic. Hanson and Lauritsen urged residents to not get heated during the night's discussions. "If we're eliminated (from consideration), we fight (over) nothing. We divide this community for nothing," Lauritsen said. Lauritsen offered to field any questions and pass them on to the South Dakota Governor's Office.

Bull of the Day: Credo Technology (CRDO)
Credo Technology Group (CRDO) is a key supplier of high-performance serial connectivity solutions for the hyperscale datacenter, 5G carrier, enterprise networking, HPC (high-performance computing), and AI/ML is located in the center of the AI revolution in San Jose, sales growing 120% this fiscal year to $425 million, one of Credo's high demand products is their line of Active Electrical Cables (AEC) which provide high-speed connectivity solutions to data centers and enterprises with heavy AI and cloud computing also makes Digital Signal Processing (DSP) chipsets to facilitate high-bandwidth data transfer with low energy largest and most strategic customers are leading hyper-scalers like Microsoft (MSFT) and Amazon who use Credo's AECs to support AI and cloud its biggest competition comes from Broadcom (AVGO) and Marvell (MRVL) in connectivity solutions for the AI is the AI Market MakerAs I've said for almost eight years, Jensen & Co. have been creating new industries we didn't even know we needed. Once modern data enterprises and research universities caught on to what GPU-CUDA "massively parallel architectures" could do for them, they literally created new uses cases by the thousands per you can simulate anything, use synthetic data to do so, and then run billions of iterations on your experimental idea in a matter of hours, innovation happens much Jensen talks about 1,000-fold advances in science, engineering, and social challenges. And then you understand why NVIDIA (NVDA) power tools are in such demand for the Global 2000 corporations, plus universities, plus nation-states who need to secure and "mine & model" their own my NVIDIA (NVDA) "Top Picks" video on April 21, I compared the new Huawei supercomputer offering to NVIDIA's GB200 one of my points of focus was on the high-speed, low-latency connectivity required for these new rack-scale architectures. I didn't mention Credo, but I'm very curious about how closely they are working together since Jensen likes that "copper is cheaper" and perfectly still useful for direct connections between GPUs in racks.A Fly in the AnointmentThis all sounds great for Credo going forward, especially as they are projected to grow EPS this fiscal year by a whopping 600%!But the stock was richly valued before their Q3 FY2025 (ended April) report. Right now at an $8 billion market cap on forward sales of over $500 million, they are conservatively trading over 16X early March when they reported, CRDO shares had been cut in half from $80 to $40 in just a month just to get back down to earth at 16X sales. So it's safe to say they were trading near 30X sales in Q1 near the stock highs above $ of the big pessimism -- or realism -- even before the trade war tumult, was that Credo's Q3 38% EPS beat and giant 12.5% revenue beat was built around a single large customer who may have contributed as much as 85% of that topline: they didn't disclose Amazon (AMZN) as the big kahuna in their operations, many analysts had sufficient reason to suspect this was the case."As we shared last quarter, we had seven customers that contributed more than 5% of revenue," said Credo Chief Financial Officer Dan Fleming. "And going forward, we expect that three to four customers will be greater than 10% of revenue in the coming quarters and fiscal year, as additional hyperscalers ramp to more significant volumes."I think Credo can keep growing and we won't see another quarter so dependent on one large Makes Credo's AECs More Efficient Than Other Cables?Credo's Active Electrical Cables (AECs) stand out for their efficiency and performance in modern data center environments, especially compared to traditional Direct Attached Copper (DAC) and Active Optical Cables (AOC). Here are the key factors:1. Substantial Power SavingsCredo's AECs consume about 50% less power than traditional DACs and significantly less than AOCs, making them highly energy example, their second-generation HiWire LP SPAN AECs reduce power consumption by nearly half while increasing cable reach by 40% compared to the previous generation.2. Thinner, More Flexible CablesCredo's AECs use thinner copper (as slim as Cat 6 cables), reducing cabling volume by up to 75% compared to passive DACs. This makes them easier to route and manage in dense data center thinner, lighter cables also support longer distances and tighter bend radii, which is critical for modern rack-to-rack and server-to-switch connections.3. Superior Performance and ReliabilityIntegrated digital signal processors (DSPs) and retimers in Credo's AECs deliver better signal integrity, enabling higher data rates (up to 800G and 1.6T) over longer distances without cables offer extreme reliability, with Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) ratings up to 100 million hours, minimizing downtime and maintenance.4. Plug-and-Play SimplicityCredo's AECs are hot-swappable and easy to deploy, providing a drop-in replacement for AOCs and DACs without the need for additional components or complex also support advanced features like dual Top-of-Rack (TOR) redundancy for enhanced reliability in hyperscale data centers.5. Lower Environmental ImpactBy reducing power consumption and using less plastic and copper, Credo's AECs help customers decrease their environmental Connectivity Innovation for AINow that you know Credo's key "connector" role in the AI economy, let me highlight recent press releases that you should go find on their website if you are interested in learning 18: Credo and XConn to Showcase Seamless GPU Cluster at NVIDIA GTCMarch 26: Credo to Showcase AI Scale Out Fabric Featuring Credo Optical DSPs at OFC 2025March 27: Credo Named a Winner of the 2025 Top Workplaces USA AwardApril 1: Credo Unveils the Lark Family - Setting a New Benchmark for Low-Power 800G Optical DSPsIf their innovation cadence maintains like this, I'm sure their big customer wins will keep growing.
