The South Dakota legislature passed legislation today to sell the state-owned cement plant. Governor Bill Janklow announced plans to sell the plant to a Mexican company for 252 million dollars Saturday then called the legislature into special session. Janklow says the sale must be completed by the end of the year. The state has been in the cement business for 80 years. Minnesota Public Radio's Cara Hetland reports.
