The next step in the standoff between the Yankton County Commission and unhappy people in five townships is a public meeting.

A number of residents in those northeast townships have talked of a petition drive to either form their own county or join Turner County.

Commission Chair Cheri Loest says their two previous private meetings were an attempt to at least talk about the concerns…

Loest says there will have to be action at some point….

Loest says both sides have to proceed in good faith….

The public meeting with the townships will be held in the next month, but no time or date has been set yet.
