Former House Representative Tom Brunner and current House Representative for D28 B, Travis Ismay, come on GovWatch and fill me in about the legislative committees, house and senate leadership, who does what and how it all works in the form of giving me a big picture overview of it all. It’s intriguing as we get closer to South Dakota’s Historic 100th Legislative Session starting mid-January that will include many controversial hot topics for the state…and who wanted the state shut down in 2020, anyway, and who truly kept it open?

I’m proud to finally present my interview with Judd Schomp, a former county commissioner for Bennett County and former resident of Butte County. He taught me the big picture of how counties should set a budget and manage their spending for the benefit of the taxpayers compared to what he sees happening in Bennett. We covered a ton of ground in this interview that was done back around the end of September/early October, from budgeting to County Commissioners stomping on our First Amendment rights to ask questions, get answers we deserve through government transparency and much more. Look for the shorter videos I made that focus on specific subjects Judd and I talked about. Enjoy!!
