Americans for Prosperity, a political advocacy group, took three South Dakota legislators on a trip to the southern border. There's a lot we don't know about that trip.
That's because lobbyists in South Dakota are only required to disclose their name and employer. Nothing else.
Seth Tupper discusses his investigation into the state's lax lobbyist disclosure requirements. He joins In the Moment to talk about the impacts of South Dakota's limited transparency in this industry.
Plus, he unpacks his recent reporting on Gov. Noem, from her use of an emergency fund to her investment in an ethanol plant.
Tupper is editor-in-chief of the South Dakota Searchlight.
