From Plains Politics:
But, another big question is why has the Attorney General been investigating this since April, why has it not been resolved by now, or made public? The death penalty case and this one give some evidence to the Attorney General's office being a little lax on getting these things done in a timely fashion.
The investigation(s) will spell out the facts though. And I am sure whoever finds out the details will let us know. It is unfortunate that the Argus has sat on this story for so long, not a surprise though. I thought they were supposed to be the Watchdogs for the state? You know, they change the paper around, change some titles, and what do you know, the paper is still the same it was before, weird how that works.

I remember when it was said the SD was 5 years behind the coasts in trends. Unfortunately, when it comes to allegations of misconduct with legislative pages, we're keeping up with the coasts.
This is a very serious matter and it looks like the leaders in the SD Senate on both sides of the aisle are working hard to treat it as it should be and not treat it politically. I hope it can remain that way.
Bad behavior transcends party affiliation and should not be tolerated in our political officials or frankly among any of our fellow human beings.
Indeed.
