WATERTOWN, S.D. (KELO.com) — South Dakota House Speaker Spencer Gosch is being sued for allegedly violating the state’s open records laws.

Hugh Bartels of Watertown is a State Representative in District Five. He says there hasn’t been much impeachment talk among his colleagues yet…
Ravnsborg is facing potential impeachment next month for his role in a car crash near Highmore that killed a pedestrian last year.
