State budget reflects new realities

State governments are facing tightening budget conditions and flat economic growth. President Donald Trump’s signature budget policy is also shifting fiscal responsibilities to states in various ways.

To understand more about how these changes impact South Dakota, we reached out to Justin Theal. He’s a senior officer with Pew’s Fiscal 50 project. He spoke with SDPB’s Lori Walsh.

Lori Walsh is a special correspondent with SDPB and host of the "In the Moment" podcast.
