Gov. Noem Orders Flags at Half-Staff to Honor Former Legislator

PIERRE, S.D. – Governor Kristi Noem has ordered flags at the South Dakota State Capitol to be flown at half-staff from 8 a.m. until sunset on Friday, December 4, 2020, to honor the life of former State Representative Milton Lakness.

Lakness represented Hamlin County and the surrounding area in the State House of Representatives from 1975 until 1980.

  1. Milt Lakness has the style and personality I imagined of Teddy Roosevelt.

    More than once he showed up at Augie CR meetings to encourage us in our political activism. A generous, gregarious man who carried a lot of water for the elephant.

    May the Soul of Milt, by the Mercy of God, Rest In Peace.
