This week at The 4th Box, we are joined by our good friends Mike Klipfel and Jared Bossly who are back with an update on the fight for property rights, government accountability, and local control in South Dakota. From a proposed mega dairy to new data centers, missing funds, and unanswered questions surrounding government oversight, they remind us exactly why it's so important to stay engaged, dig deeper, and demand transparency from those in power.

Mike and Jared discuss the case of a close friend who became active in questioning a proposed 25,000-head dairy and later faced an investigation by the Department of Criminal Investigation. They also address allegations from a government whistleblower, concerns about a proposed data center's massive electricity demands, government incentives, and the challenges of getting meaningful answers from elected officials and agencies. After years of fighting the CO2 pipeline, the two reflect on the exhaustion that comes with sustained activism, the importance of passing the fight to the next generation, and why local citizens must remain willing to question, organize, and engage.
