Dakota Town Hall

This week we welcome Michael Bockorny from the Economic Development Professionals Association of South Dakota and Senator Randy Deibert from District 31. We dive into the childcare veto discussion, then discuss the accessibility of the new governor, and explore the connection between economic development and property taxes. Plus, the Department of Education... Or not.

D5 Senator Glen Vilhauer comes back on the show to chat about what it's like in a Senator's first session, along with some chats about where the session heads from here. Then, the return of the HOTTEST GOSS in the land! Former Dakota Scout reporter Austin Hot Goss joins the show to discuss the Noem credit card story currently in the news. @AustinGossSD @JakeSchoenbeck @DakotaTownHall @Murdocj

This is a great one folks! This week on Dakota Town Hall, South Dakota Searchlight's Seth Tupper, Lee Strubenger from SDPB, and Erin Tobin, SD Chair for U.S. Term Limits. 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.

SD AG Marty Jackley joins the show for a wide-sweeping range of topics from the death penalty, to accountability in our state government, and the 10 commandments in schools. Then Sandra Waltman from the SDEA is back on the show to update us on the school funding bills. We sneak in a little horse dentistry. @SandraMWaltman @martyjackley @JakeSchoenbeck @Murdocj @DakotaTownHall

D15 Rep Kadyn Wittman is back on the show to update us on the school lunch funding bill. Josh "CAAAAN YOU TAKE ME" Haiar from SD Searchlight tries to keep our facts straight on what appears to be Phil Jensen week. Varmint Facts. Join us for the Chaplin bill endings and sports betting beginnings as we kick off February. @JakeSchoenbeck @DakotaTownHall @Murdocj @Kadyn_Wittman @JoshuaHaiar

D8's Casey Crabtree comes back on the show and the gang chats about our new Governor, and our new Lt Governor / Show Historian. We discuss some bills of note of the week. The 10 Commandments have never been more popular. Seat Belts. CHYYYYNA lawsuits. @CrabtreeCasey @JakeSchoenbeck @Murdocj @DakotaTownHall

Slight delay this week, we're recording Friday night. One of us was in Colorado getting tattoos. "Boy - the air is different." Senator Helene Duhamel is back on the show and we talk about the differences in this year's session vs previous years. Senator Duhamel is working on bringing water to West River. Datacenters week 3. From The Dakota Scout, Auston HOTT GOSS is back on the show to speculate on Lt Gov picks and the legislative movement of week 2. Stupid Bills of the Week? Or Stupid Bills of the Week! Who has and hasn't passed the hunter safety course? Water towers and stoplights.
