The first Dakota Town Hall Gubernatorial Episode! Live from Studio 3B at The HomeSlice Group in Rapid City, it's our first interview with Governor Larry Rhoden and Lt Governor (and show historian) Tony Venhuizen. They join us during their 'Open for Opportunity' Tour. We discuss the first session, how Tony was chosen, the future of the prison, and other large projects. We get into 2 of the Governor's vetos, and speculate into 2026 a little. Our first video episode! You can find this as a video on the newly launched Rapid City Post's YouTube Channel. @GovLarryRhoden @Tony_Venhuizen @JakeSchoenbeck @Murdocj @DakotaTownHall

We start with Senator Rohl's vehicle bill maneuvers and Pierre's latest hidden camera show. SuperBouts with Arch Beal. The gang lists out the dumbest bills, and the never-ending property tax debate.

District 30's Amber Hulse joins the RINO brigade for a hearty discussion on property taxes and the other bills of note she's leading. Dakota War College's Pat Powers is back as Pierre tiptoes around how old you can be to be married in SD. Interesting airplane landings in Pierre, and the GOP Leadership race continues.
