The South Dakota Department of Agriculture and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources are merging into one department.
“South Dakota will be the only state in the United States that doesn’t have its own designated environmental agency,” Ailee Johns, 2020 South Dakota state senate candidate for District 17, said.
Gov. Kristi Noem and South Dakota Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources Hunter Roberts claim the purpose of merging the two departments is to save money.
It’s hard to say exactly how the environment is going to be affected and what bills are going to be passed through the new department, Johns said.
