The Mitchell City Council has approved over $644,000 in funding for 11 non-profits as part of its proposed 2026 budget, marking a 1.5% increase over the mayor’s initial plan.
A joint legislative committee advanced Governor Larry Rhoden’s $650 million men’s prison plan on Tuesday with a 13-2 vote after extensive discussion on cost, size, and inmate care. Lieutenant Governor Tony Venhuizen, chair of the summer Prison Reset Task Force, emphasized that the Sioux Falls penitentiary is outdated, and funding the project with existing state cash reserves avoids interest costs while addressing long-term public safety concerns.
