The Government Operations and Audit Committee of the South Dakota Legislature will revisit their investigation of GEAR UP dollars, and possible conflicts and embezzlement, at their meeting next month.

Committee Co-Chair, Representative Jean Hunhoff of Yankton, says they have not seen proof yet that GEAR UP funds went missing…..

Mid Central is a now dissolved education cooperative that managed the GEAR UP program.

Hunhoff says the activities they are looking at took place before state laws on conflicts of interest were tightened…..

Hunhoff says not all conflicts are illegal…..

The committee is planning a two-day meeting on October 5th & 6th.
