On 2/3/21 at 9:00 AM EST
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem touted her state s approach to the COVID-19 pandemic on Tuesday night, suggesting that her refusal to impose a lockdown has been uniquely successful.
Noem, a Republican, told Fox News Laura Ingraham that her approach was correct, despite the fact that South Dakota has the sixth-highest death rate of any state in the U.S.
Ingraham claimed that the pandemic is basically over in South Dakota and said: Look how far down the cases have dropped since the peak in November, and the death rate remains below [Governor Andrew] Cuomo without any lockdown settled.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem introduced two property rights bills related to the Department of Game, Fish & Parks.
“So far this legislative session, we’ve taken steps to promote life and liberty. Now, we’re working to defend property rights,” said Governor Kristi Noem. “The two bills introduced today work together to build on GFP’s excellent work to protect property rights and promote trust between conservation officers and South Dakotans.”
The first bill restricts the entry of conservation officers onto certain private land without permission. Under current precedent, conservation officers could enter into open fields without a warrant, though GFP’s department policy prevents this. Similar legislation had been sponsored in the past by Lieutenant Governor Larry Rhoden during his time serving in the South Dakota state legislature.
