Records filed with the South Dakota Secretary of State's Office show Oshik Song as the general partner for Northern Beef Packers. Dennis Hellwig, the former owner of Hub City Livestock Auction, was a the former largest investor and plant's prime spokesman.

David Palmer, the president and chief executive officer of Northern Beef Packers, referenced the documents filed with the state, but said he wished not to comment until financial and scheduling details are finalized. Bookmark and Share

Where is it documented that the state is giving the new Korean owners work visas? Aberdeen and Brown County have been duped - big time. Will the Korean owners pay the mechanic liens? TIFs? Hmmmmm!

I would imagine that recount would either mean a court battle or petitions to get it as such. Are you starting one up?

How much money did the State of South Dakota give the slaughter house? Do the tax payers of the state get any voice in the matter? The article does not say that Hellwig is out, it just says that someone else has put in more money than him. Will the contractors be paid the millions that Hellwig owes finally?

With the state giving the new investor several thousand work visa's there will be little or no chance of anyone locally getting a job at the slaughter house. How does that help the city of Aberdeen? Will our schools now teach Korean instead of spanish?

As usual, the American News is a little late on the uptake! The change of ownership went down in JULY. Your investigative reporting skills really suck! Here, let me help you.
