New governor discusses South Dakota's political future

On today's show...

State legislators are discussing how to pay for a South Dakota state prison. SDPB's Lee Strubinger takes us into the debate and his reporting (1:00 to 8:23).

The state is under new leadership. Our Dakota Political Junkies provide their analysis into Gov. Larry Rhoden's administration.

Jon Hunter is publisher emeritus of the Madison Daily Leader, and Michael Card, Ph.D., is professor emeritus of political science at the University of South Dakota (8:23 to 27:02).

We then hear from that leadership directly. Rhoden and Lt. Gov. Tony Venhuizen sat down for an interview into the future of South Dakota politics. Hear excerpts from that interview (27:02 to 48:58).

Watch the full interview HERE.
