YANKTON, S.D. (WNAX) – The State of South Dakota got over $1.2 billion from the federal government for Covid-19 related expenses.

Representative Ryan Cwach of Yankton says that aid should be targeted.

Cwach is among lawmakers asking Governor Kristi Noem to call a special session.

Noem this week outlined a plan that would make $400 million in CARES Act funding available to businesses in the state.
