LifeScape staffer says the current statement by DSS secretary Matt Althoff’s words are new from even 24 hours ago. LifeScape chairman was to speak by phone but technology isn’t working. Note this is a brand new building with new technology. Sad things aren’t working.

[Beth Warden @bethwarden]

“Regrettably we have open meetings for this,” and the technology isn’t working. Altoff thanks people for their patience. No decisions will be made today but will go in front of the Legislature October 7th. #SouthDakota .

[Beth Warden @bethwarden]

I just caught Altoff as he walked in the room, saying I tried to speak with him yesterday. Both dept media staffers were gone yesterday. One had an auto reply to contact the other. The other had a reply they were out of the office. #SouthDakota
