The South Dakota Legislature for the first time in state history has begun the process of considering the impeachment of a duly elected public official.

But until Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg no longer holds constitutional office, the widow of Joe Boever says justice will not have been served.

"They just need to make the right decision and take him out of this because there is going to be no closure until something is figured out," said Jenny Boever, whose husband was killed 14 months ago when he was struck by a car being driven by Ravnsborg. "He needs to be impeached."

Ravnsborg, a Yankton Republican first elected in 2018, was driving along Highway 14 in Hyde County in the evening hours of Sept. 12, 2020 when he struck Boever, who had been walking along the shoulder of the road. Boever's body was not discovered until the following morning.

1. Sure, he's got a better chance to be elected Governor of South Dakota

than being impeached.

2. I can't believe he thinks it's a good idea to force the Lege's hand.

3. Complete loss of public confidence in an office holder, but still he clings to OUR Office?
