South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has until April to respond to a pair of ethics complaints from the state's attorney general, an accountability board said. One is over whether she interfered with a state agency evaluating her daughter's real estate license.
Noem has insisted she has done nothing wrong.decided to give Noem until April 15 — after the legislative session ends — to respond to the complaints. In December, it requested a response on one of the complaints, but the governor’s office asked for more time.“This is probably not the best time of the year,” said retired judge Gene Kean, referring to the governor’s busy work schedule.
Former state Supreme Court Chief Justice David Gilbertson, who was appointed to the board by Noem, has recused himself from considering the complaints. The board keeps the details of the complaints secret unless it decides they warrant a public hearing. In the past, it has dismissed complaints without requiring the targeted officials to respond to them.
Ravnsborg declined to discuss the specifics of the complaints Thursday, but he explained that the board’s process calls for a response from the subject of a complaint before the board decides whether to “dismiss it, move forward with it or seek an investigation.” If the board finds ethics violations, it can take a wide range of actions, from requesting a criminal investigation to issuing a private reprimand or requiring community service. But in the five years since it was created, the board“The board has very broad discretion and we’re all learning a little bit within the bounds of the statute because they have not had a lot of complaints,” Ravnsborg said. “It’s a fairly new board.
