Redistricting Committee Meets Monday In Pierre

PIERRE — The House and Senate Redistricting Committees of the South Dakota Legislature met in Pierre to start the week. The group had considered setting a conurbation district for the Sioux Falls area, but Chair, Senator Mary Duvall of Pierre says the Committee wants to make a well informed decision…

The Committee took public comment mainly from advocates from minority voting interests for Native Americans. Duvall says they are working hard to accommodate that vote…

One commenter, John Klaussen of Sioux Falls told the Committee they were wasting time and that the schedule rush was manufactured…

Duvall says that’s not the case…

The Redistricting Committee meets again next week, September 7th.
