SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO-AM) - Lost among the ten ballot issues is Amendment R on governance of technical schools.
Rep. Mark Mickelson spoke to The Greg Belfrage Show in support of the measure Monday.
Mickelson says Amendment R would ensure that the state's four technical institutes, including Southeast Tech in Sioux Falls, would maintain local control.
He says that is important because businesses need to have input into what classes the schools teach so they can stay ahead of the economic curve.
The Sioux Falls Republicans said the measure is bi-partisan, with both GOP Gov. Dennis Daugaard and liberal blogger Corey Heidelberger both supporting it.
