While it has been a few weeks since we have heard about EB5, it looks like legislators will hear about it again.

The EB5 visa investment issue played into the US Senate campaign won by former Governor Mike Rounds.

Democratic Senator-elect Bernie Hunhoff of Yankton says there will be some bills connected to the program…

 

Hunhoff says details of what happened with the EB5 funds are still a little fuzzy…

 

Former state economic development director Richard Benda was found dead in Charles Mix County in October of 2013. His death was ruled a suicide.

Hunhoff says he hopes getting away from political season will help answer questions…

 

The legislative session starts Tuesday.
