SOUTH DAKOTA(HubCityRadio)- South Dakota Landowners Thursday have called on Senator Lee Schoenbeck to resign following a series of inappropriate texts he sent to South Dakota Treasurer Josh Haeder. Haeder was serving on the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission filling in for Commissioner Kristie Fiegen in the Summit Carbon Solutions request for the CO2 pipeline. Fiegen had a conflict of interest which prevented her from participating in this hearing. The commission voted unanimously(3-0) to deny the request to Summit.
Following the hearing, Secretary Haeder received text messages from Senate Pro Temp Lee Schoenbeck from Watertown.
