South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds delivered his annual State of the State address. He says the 2010 legislature needs to do what many South Dakotans do during difficult times - remain frugal yet optimistic.
Rounds says South Dakotans are enduring tough times. The state's unemployment rate is five percent compared to ten percent nationally. He says that's because business owners and the state are working to keep good employees.
Rounds also says the legislature has achieved many of the goals set in the 2010 Initiative. The governor spent much of his speech focusing on these goals.
