Back in October of 2022, the Yankton County Commission asked the South Dakota Department of Criminal Investigation (DCI) to begin an investigation into possible “unethical and/or illegal” activities in the Office of the Director of Equalization.
The issue had been brought up while the county commission was in executive session when it was revealed a current Director of Equalization employee, as well as a former Director of Equalization had allegedly wrongfully participated in reducing the real estate and personal property tax obligations owed to Yankton County, according to the press release in October.
KYNT News reached out to the South Dakota Attorney General’s Office for any updates on the case. Tony Mangen, the Attorney General’s Communications Officer, confirmed with DCI that the investigation is continuing.
