The topic for today was ballot questions, and several of them were covered in depth: Referred Law 6, and Constitutional Amendments E and F.
Ritchie Nordstrom introduced Amber Fricke from the South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families addressed the group on the current status on Referred Law 6 (HB1215) and invited everyone to the open house that was held this evening at their new West River headquarters.
Gene Lebrun discussed Constitutional Amendment E (the "JAIL" Amendment) and why voices from all corners of the political spectrum are condeming it and urging South Dakotans to voiced against it.He also recommended Constitutional Amendment F, which was supported by both parties in the Legislature.
Bill Walsh spoke about the anti-video-gambling question and lent some historical perspective about how legalized gambling has been brought to South Dakota and how it seems to be a perennnial issue in this State.
