Lawmakers Get to Work on Budget Bill

The main focus of the final full week of the South Dakota legislature will be coming up with a budget bill.

Representative Jean Hunhoff of Yankton says every legislator has seen the financial updates

Hunhoff, a member of the Appropriations Committee, says there will be a lot of negotiations this week over those dollars

There are some estimates that those three priority areas could get increases of one point five to one-point seven percent. Hunhoff says that will all depend on the give and take

Legislators have reserved March 26th as the final day to consider any vetoed bills.
