The South Dakota House will consider Articles of Impeachment against Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg.
Representative Will Mortenson of Pierre says it’s a necessary move..
Ravnsborg has been charged with three misdemeanors tied to the car – pedestrian accident last September that killed 55-year-old Joe Boever of Highmore.
Mortenson says he waited until all the charges had been filed….
House Minority Leader Jamie Smith of Sioux Falls says it’s a bi-partisan effort…
House Majority Leader Kent Peterson of Salem says they are protecting the state and the constitution…
If the House passes the Articles, then a trial would be held in the Senate, where a two thirds vote would be needed to convict and remove Ravnsborg from office.
