South Dakota's nursing homes are facing many funding challenges. That means the state's aging population has fewer and fewer options to find housing that offers the level of care they need.

Sen. Jean Hunhoff, R-Yankton, joins In the Moment to discuss and address these issues. As lead co-chair of the Senate Joint Committee on Appropriations, she also provides an update on the state's developing budget and the tax cut proposals that are still on the table.

Jackie Hendry is a special correspondent with SDPB based in Sioux Falls. Her coverage interests include the many ways public policy impacts child welfare, elder care, health and education.
Ellen Koester served as a producer of "In the Moment," SDPB's daily news and culture broadcast.
