Ethics Board Keeps Action Secret Against Kristi Noem

“South Dakota’s ethics board won’t publicly disclose the ‘appropriate action’ it took after finding evidence Gov. Kristi Noem intervened with a state agency to influence her daughter’s application for a real estate appraiser license,” the AP reports.

“The state’s Government Accountability Board was created to provide a check on any misconduct by state officials, and the question of whether to discipline the Republican governor presented its first major test.”
