South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s daughter announced Tuesday that she would be leaving the real estate business amid scrutiny over how she received her license. Noem and her daughter, Kassidy Peters, have faced mounting attention and ire from both the public and lawmakers over the reversal of a denial of Peters’ appraiser’s license, which was granted to her after the state’s Labor Secretary met with Noem at the governor’s mansion, the Argus Leader reported Tuesday.

“I’m angry and I can acknowledge that this has successfully destroyed my business,” Kassidy Peters wrote in a letter addressed to state lawmakers, declaring that she would return her license to the state by the end of the year. The Labor Secretary, Marcia Hultman, initially said her department had drawn up a training plan to allow Peters’ to overcome the denial of her license, but a signed contract provided to state lawmakers showed the agreement had in reality been reached afterwards.

Appraiser training plan for Gov. Kristi Noem's daughter happened after meeting at Governor's Mansion

A training plan outlining what Gov. Kristi Noem's daughter needed to do to earn her appraiser certification wasn't agreed to until after a closed-door meeting with top decision makers at the Governor's Mansion.

Labor Secretary Marcia Hultman told lawmakers last month that Kassidy Peters was not given preferential treatment while enrolled in the South Dakota Appraiser Certification Program, which falls under her department. And at the time, she said that a "possible plan forward" was developed for Peters prior to the meeting in question.

But a day after formally issuing a subpoena for the document, members of the Legislature's Government Operations and Audit Committee received a two-page "stipulation agreement" entered into by the Department of Labor and Peters.

The stipulation agreement was released to GOAC at the request of Peters, who notified the Department of Labor earlier in the day that she intends stop working as an appraiser by year's end due to "irreparable damage" she has sustained due to the legislative and media scrutiny around the nepotism allegations.

1. why was Ms. Peters initially denied the license

not sure I get that part (I am not familiar with this process) - was she just not qualified?

[ZonkerHarris]

3. she probably failed the test you need to pass to get the lic.

10. I would guess more likely her background check was the problem

The test is pretty cut and dried, and can be retaken as many times as you want. Background checks are more subjective, more guidelines rather than absolute measures, and therefore more easily vulnerable to outside influence.

14. it's just that they don't really say

and for those of us not in the business, it's a real question

I have no problem in the real world where people help their relatives and friends get jobs - that happens all the time. What I don't like is when that person is unqualified or jumps ahead in line without putting in their time. THAT is nepotism.

2. Uhhhhh...CNN...MSNBC...LOL, fuax noise?

Where The Fuck in the national news about this blatant corruption?

Both Noem and her spawn should be sanctioned, fined, and imprisoned for this outrageous display of executive interference in the function of government regulations and laws.

[rpannier]

4. "I'm angry and I can acknowledge that this has successfully destroyed my business,"

A business built on corruption is illegal
No sympathy for you

[Roy Rolling]

5. By the end of the year?

She wants another two months of business activity before stopping an activity she failed to qualify for?

Yeah right.

[madaboutharry]

6. Kassidy Peters: "I'm angry....."

That is some major entitlement going on there. No self-reflection, no contrition, no understands that her mother using her position as governor to pressure and interfere was wrong.

What is wrong with these people? They cry from the mountain tops about how every government program is socialism and how people need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps, yet they themselves behave as if the world owes them something.

8. About nepotism

Decades ago, I applied for a position to be a public school third grade teacher. Unfortunately, it was in the district where my mother was President of the Board of Education.

My interview included teaching a third grade class in front of the principal, a teacher, and yes, my mother.

Later that night, my mother offered me the job. I asked if I truly earned it. She didn't really answer my question. I then told her to select the best candidate, not only to be fair, but I didn't want to get the job through nepotism. She wisely opined that our relationship would always sow doubt that I earned the position. I said, "Fine."

And the position went to another applicant. And I never became a full-time teacher.

I have no regrets. I probably shouldn't have applied under those circumstances.

9. So take the class & pass the test, dumbass. Quit bitching.

11. "Mommy! They're being mean to me!"

15. This should not stop the investigation...

...of Noem and subsequent $200k payout to the agency director in exchange for Peters licence, returned or not.
