Well, tomorrow is the official beginning of the 87th Legislative Session for South Dakota. Yesterday's Argus Leader provided some "tidbits" that I thought we all might want to know, such as:

There are a total of 105 legislators/70 representatives and 35 senators.
Republicans hold a 50 - 19 edge in the House of Representatives.
Republicans holda 30 - 5 edge in the Senate.
January 10th/Opening Day with Governor Daugaard's State of the State address at 1 p.m.
January 11th/State of the Judicial by Chief Justice Gilbertson
January 19th-25th/Filing deadlines (subject to change)
February 14th/Crossover day - Deadline for bill to pass in house of origin and move to the other house.
March 2nd/End of regular session
March 19th/Legislators return for one day to consider vetoes by governor.

You can expect to hear from us on a daily basis now. We invite you to contact us with information you feel it would be important to circulate to others as the session begins and continues.

Later,
Shelly
