The 100th Legislative Session is one third of the way done with the completion of Week Three. Governor Larry Rhoden addressed a joint session of the House and Senate for his first time as Governor. Highlights of his speech were the need to keep South Dakota strong, safe, and free.

It has been a historic week of the 100th Legislative Session. We started the week off with Larry Rhoden officially our new governor, who then announced his LT Governor pick. A select committee was formed and a confirmation hearing was held for Tonnis H. Venhuizen.

This week was the start of a lot of long days. We start at 7:45 Monday, Wednesday, Friday in Education. We start at 7:45 on Tuesday and Thursday in Health and Human Services. We have to be done with our meetings by 10:00 so that the next committee meeting can get started in that meet-ing room.

We had an exciting week in Pierre swearing in a new Governor and Lt. Governor to lead South Dakota for the next two years. Our new Governor, Larry Rhoden, chose Representative Tony Venhuizen to serve as our next Lt Governor and preside over the Senate.
