Former President Barack Obama has continued his yearly tradition of filling out a men's and women's NCAA Tournament bracket, and he has South Dakota State going on a deep run.
President Obama's final State of the Union address took place Tuesday night, so the White House decided it would be the right time to look back on his addresses while in office.
South Dakotans appreciate their right to carry firearms. That became obvious with the news that the state saw a 21 percent increase in concealed carry permits during 2015.
At the White House on Tuesday, President Obama introduced 10 new provisions aimed at reducing the gun violence he says is plaguing the entire country, as evidenced by the spate of mass shootings that have occurred over the last several years.
Consider this quite a day for Governor Dennis Daugaard as he lands a seven-figure gift and a visit from the President. The windfall will help an iconic park.
And then there was one. After this Friday, South Dakota will be the only state President Barack Obama has not visited since being elected president in 2008.
