South Dakota Legislature Deliberates Quietly on riparian and fencing bills
In Pierre on January 11 the legislative session moves with little incident. Senator Danforth proposes a bill to redefine riparian rights to lake edges, likely spawning lawsuits. Arnold backs a partition fence reform to reduce litigation, funding a shared obligation. Whiting revises Parmley road bill with governor support, and Byrne seeks railroad regulation to curb high express rates.
