Special Session on Lakes Issue Gets Underway Today in Pierre

South Dakota lawmakers will be back in Pierre today (Monday) for a special session to debate a compromise on opening some lakes to more public access. That follows a Supreme Court ruling that forced the closings.

Representative Susan Wismer of Britton says she will be a yes vote

Wismer says the bill only allows one way appeals

Landowners have been pushing for reductions in property taxes on the flooded acres. Wismer says that will have to wait

The session is set to start at 10AM. Governor Dennis Daugaard will address the session at about 10:30.
