1. They also name the donor who got Noem's attention

From the OP link:

Along with fast-tracking the money, Noem flew to Naples on a government plane to tour the pier herself. She then stayed for the weekend and got dinner with the donor, local cardiologist Sinan Gursoy, at the French restaurant Bleu Provence, according to records and an interview with the Naples mayor. This account is based on text messages and emails ProPublica obtained through public records requests.

Here's what I needed to know: I was wondering if Noem was responding to her own political donors from South Dakota, or to a local GOP donor in Florida. Sure enough, it's a guy in Florida. Good to know, but it's still corruption without a doubt.

She tosses out tax-payer funds like they're rolls of paper towels in Puerto Rico.
