Chairman’s Note: Invest South Dakota. That’s the principle behind House Democratic leader Rep. Mitch Fargen’s (D-Flandrea) bill to dedicate new tech-school scholarships for students pursuing programs of study in areas of critical need for South Dakota businesses. The simple fact is, we raise our kids here, and we educate them here. Let’s give them the means to train for the open South Dakota jobs that will keep them here into the future.
