On today's show...

After this week's surprising votes, the future of a new men's prison is uncertain.

SDPB's Lee Strubinger shares what happened and what could happen next. Is the prison proposal dead this session (1:00 to 7:41)?

We then turn to SDPB's C.J. Keene. Eminent domain was a top issue for voters in the last election. He brings us a tale of two bills (7:41 to 14:21).

Our Dakota Political Junkie explores how new legislation impacts South Dakota education. Seth Tupper is editor-in-chief of South Dakota Searchlight (14:21 to 35:53).

Read his full reporting.

Plus, Rep. Peri Pourier bring us a mid-session update on her view from the middle of the House (35:53 to 49:07).
