How can we lift SD counties out of poverty?

SDPB

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

Eleven counties in South Dakota experience persistent poverty. Whose problem is it to solve? What are some possible solutions?

Our Dakota Political Junkies take a closer look. Jonathan Ellis is a co-founder of the independent newspaper The Dakota Scout. Jon Hunter is publisher emeritus of the Madison Daily Leader.

Plus, voters passed medical marijuana in the state, but the matter is far from settled. We explore the opposing sides of the marijuana wars.
