RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) – The U.S. is experiencing a surge in opioid use, and according to a letter sent to the U-S Senate by South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley and 22 other attorneys general fentanyl and fentanyl analogs kill Americans at a rate that rivals World War 2 or the Civil War.
The HALT Fentanyl Act has passed in the U-S House of Representatives, and South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley is asking the U.S. Senate to pass the legislation as well.
Jackley says there have been 81 fentanyl arrests this year in South Dakota.
”We know that those numbers will likely continue to grow significantly, which is one of the reasons I joined with 23 other Attorney Generals in asking Congress to give us some additional tools, both in addressing the border security and making fentanyl analogs, a further controlled substance,” said South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley.
If the HALT Fentanyl Act does pass the Senate, it will go to President Joe Biden’s desk to await his signature.
Biden expressed support for the bill last month.

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – Partly cloudy skies are expected. A stray shower or two will be possible, but chances aren’t great. Highs will be in the 40s and 50s for much of KOTA Territory.
Wind gusts could range from 30 to 40 mph at times – especially across western South Dakota.
We’ll remain mild all Christmas week with highs in the 40s to near 50°. Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies will be likely all week long. It could get a little breezy on Christmas Day, but nothing too crazy.
