"Providing timely news, weather, and sports across the rural and vast South Dakota plains is no simple task, but through hard work and dedication, KELOLAND has served South Dakota with continuous and critical coverage of all the news of the day. Through challenging times in South Dakota, KELOLAND has been a mainstay for viewers in the region to turn to for up-to-date coverage of the events and happenings in their local communities. In October of 1954, KELOLAND offered its first live programming, which led shortly after to KELOLAND offering the first live sporting event in February of 1957. On March 11, 1955, “Captain 11” signed on for the first time. Little did they know that “Captain 11” would become the longest continuous running children’s program in the world. “Captain 11” ran for 42 years before signing off for the last time on December 28, 1996."

"We need a comprehensive solution to replace the sequester and to address the ongoing crisis of poverty. That is why, with the support of our Democratic Caucus, we started a Task Force on Poverty and Opportunity in February, which I am proud to chair. We are working to build support for a comprehensive national strategy to help eliminate poverty, grow the economy, and create millions of new jobs, and I urge all of my colleagues to join us."
