The year is coming to a close, but the Yankton County Commission still had some business to attend to Tuesday. During its special meeting to end the year, the board adopted a new salary matrix for the countyâs employees. Chairperson Cheri Loest told the Press & Dakotan that Tuesdayâs action was a long time coming and needed in a county that saw uneven wage practices. âWe have had some departments that have had step increases for certain positions, we have some departments that have nothing and a lot of variation between them if they do,â Loest said. âThe question of fairness always comes into play. The canâs been kicked down the road long enough and we felt that it was time to address it.â
Hard as it is to believe now, things actually did occur in 2020 that were mostly beyond the scope of the COVID-19 pandemic. That was a fact we realized as we compiled our year-end list of top stories. COVID-19 was so overwhelming in its impact and received its own section for review, which ran in Saturdayâs Press & Dakotan. Today, we present the top five ânon-COVIDâ local stories of 2020 â some of which may have been lost in our memories once the coronavirus took over. The P&D news staff selected the Yankton School District opt-out as the top story of 2020. Voters approved it in February after similar efforts were rejected in 2011 and 2012.
