We check back in with one of our Dakota Political Junkies about a bill he supported that recently became law.

Jonathan Ellis, co-founder of The Dakota Scout, dives into the legal definition of a newspaper in South Dakota and why it's changing.

Plus, we discuss other bills and issues that caught his eye as the 2024 legislative session winds down. We cover the complexities of the pipeline bills and ask if Sen. John Thune could be stepping into an important leadership role.
