Noem Challenger Wants Special Prosecutor In Misconduct Case

(Pierre, SD) — State Representative Jamie Smith wants a special prosecutor to investigate allegations of misconduct against Governor Kristi Noem. Smith made the statement yesterday, saying Attorney General Mark Vargo should recuse himself from the investigation. The Government Accountability Board ruled Monday to refer a complaint about Noem’s alleged personal use of a state airplane to the Attorney General’s office for further investigation. Smith is challenging Noem for governor in November.
