The Yankton County Commission passed a resolution in support of local control last week.
The resolution doesn’t target any specific proposal but was passed after Governor Kristi Noem said she would introduce a bill to streamline the ag development process.

Yankton County Commission Chair Cheri Loest says local control is vital to counties…

Loest says they could have waited a bit….

Loest says she is concerned that the bill could eliminate a round of public hearings on proposals..

The Governor’s bill has not been scheduled for a committee hearing yet.
