South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem laid into President Biden on Thursday for his refusal to grant a permit for fireworks to be shot off for July 4th celebrations at Mount Rushmore.

As Fox News reports:

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem said that the Biden administration may have violated federal law after providing no explanation for the refusal to issue permits for the planned Mount Rushmore Independence Day fireworks celebration.

During a Thursday interview with “Fox & Friends” Enterprise Reporter Lawrence Jones at Keystone, S.D.-based diner “Peggy’s Place,” Noem said that she has sued the administration for not following procedures outlined in the Administrative Procedure Act, which she claims obligates the federal government to provide sufficient reasoning for not issuing such permits.

“There was no reason to deny us this permit unless it was for political reasons,” said Noem.

The Administrative Procedure Act (APA) governs the process by which federal agencies develop and issue regulations. It includes requirements for publishing notices of proposed and final rulemaking in the Federal Register, and provides opportunities for the public to comment on notices of proposed rulemaking.
Noem claimed that the state of South Dakota had fulfilled all requirements for the permit indicating the real reason the conservative state was denied the permit was due to the Biden Administration playing politics.
