Gov. Mike Rounds has appointed AP Statehouse reporter Joe Kafka as his new press secretary.
Joe is a solid newsman and has covered Pierre for 22 years. This is a serious pick with lots of
gravitas and I commend the Governor. I think Joe can probably pry some more governmental openness out of Gov. Mike.
My good friend Mitch Krebs, the soon to be ex-press secretary, is going to a media relations gig at Avera McKennan.
Congratulations and good luck to both Joe and Mitch as they start their new careers!
