Meat liberation, crypto & weather anomalies: Here's what's on South Dakota lawmakers' wishlists
State legislators push for dozens of summer studies, but few will advance
Ambitious lawmakers have presented their legislative leaders at the South Dakota Capitol with a supply-and-demand challenge.
The Executive Board (E-Board) of the state Legislature will sift through more than two dozen requests from senators and representatives on Monday to spend the summer studying policy topics such as geoengineering, weather abnormalities, state investments in cryptocurrency, and meat production regulations.
