Dakota Midday: Political Junkies Tupper and Ross

Dakota Political Junkies Seth Tupper, Rapid City Journal enterprise reporter and Denise Ross, editor with the Black Hills Knowledge Network/South Dakota Dashboard discuss the latest in politics in South Dakota. We discuss possible Medicaid expansion, the Blue Ribbon task force report, the movement asking Secretary of Education Melody Schopp to step down and the Center for Public Integrity's recently released State Integrity Investigation, for which South Dakota received an "F" grade. We also touch on political drama unfolding with a sitting county commissioner being charged with willfully violating the county zoning ordinance by refusing to obtain a permit for his septic system.   

Cara Hetland is the Director of Radio and Journalism Content for South Dakota Public Broadcasting.
