The former state employee at the center of the controversy over whether South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem intervened to help her daughter obtain a real estate appraiser license testified that Noem's daughter was given an extra chance to correct her work.
Sherry Bren, the former executive director of the South Dakota Appraiser Certification Program, was called to a July 27, 2020, meeting with Noem and found that Noem's daughter, Kassidy Peters, who was applying to become a state-certified real estate appraiser at that time, was also present along with other top state officials including the state's Secretary of Labor.
During the Tuesday hearing, Bren testified for the first time about what had happened at the meeting with the governor in July 2020 -- making it clear that the governor was upset about the"serious deficiencies" that had been identified in her daughter's application.Noem asked a series of specific questions about her daughter's application during the meeting with Bren and other state officials while her daughter was present, Bren said Tuesday.
