Senator Pettigrew’s alleged graft highlighted in Sioux Falls report
A long report alleges Senator Pettigrew leveraged a contract tied to Sisseton and Santee Sioux funds to gain millions through a commission share. It links Lyman Dunning, Pettigrew’s brother in law, to a 12 percent stake and cites Interior Department approval minus a 2 percent cut. The piece also critiques Gov. Lee over Dowdell and notes shifts in US exports and Oregon’s senator with a stable currency.
