(Pierre, SD) — South Dakota Democratic leadership is looking ahead to the beginning of the state legislative season next week. Democratic Senator Liz Larson of Sioux Falls, who will serve as minority whip, says House Bill 10-42 will be of high priority to fix the ongoing school lunch dilemma. It would reimburse school districts for the money spent on meals for kids eligible for free or reduced meals. Childcare will also be a top focus alongside Republicans as South Dakotans struggle to find day care. There are only 11 Democrats in a South Dakota state legislature that has one-hundred-five total seats.
