(Rapid City, SD) — One South Dakota State Senator is slamming the recently closed legislative session, saying leaders need to be more efficient. Senate Majority Whip Randy Deibert, of Spearfish, said with 20 new senators elected, ten of whom had no previous legislative experience, there wasn’t much collaboration. Deibert’s comments came a day after the legislature upheld Governor Rhoden’s veto of House Bill 1169. The governor signed more than 210 bills this session and only vetoed two.
