House panel rejects county consolidation plan
A South Dakota House committee has rejected a proposed constitutional amendment that would have started the process of reducing the number of counties in the state.

The Chief noted this in a previous post. If he was a betting man, his bet would have been that this bill was pretty much a no-go from the get-go, and that’s where it went.
