Rep. Bernie Hunhoff and Sen. Angie Buhl

Chairman’s Note: South Dakotans deserve complete transparency and fiscal integrity. This bill attempts to make government spending not only transparent but accessible to all South Dakotans. We are public shareholders of South Dakota. No public company would be allowed to operate without divulging to its shareholders this information, and South Dakota should be no different.
