We couldn't agree more! David Owen spells out the simple truth about Amendment L in The Dakota Scout: "Ask yourself why the political leaders that keep putting this mess on the ballot don’t seem to have that same trust in your vote."

LRC: SD Ignores Renters; Minnesota, Iowa Ease Tax Burden on Renters
Both of this year's big property-tax-relief bills—Senate Bill 96 allowing counties to adopt a sales tax to lower property tax levies and Senate Bill 245 funneling this year's reserves the additional 0.3% sales tax coming next year into property tax relief—direct breaks exclusively to homeowners. Neither bill uses sales tax dollars to lower tax rates on farms, businesses, or residential rental property.

Trump’s move to lower #beef prices will only lower cattle prices, right in time for the fall run. 😡 Because we don’t have COOL & the meat industry is controlled by 4 companies, someone will make bank 💰 but it’s not ranchers or consumers. The meat packers are celebrating

If Governor Larry Rhoden really wants spend money on "strengthening our critical infrastructure" and "improving resilience", maybe he should take his half-million misappropriation back from his gritty task force and spend that money and more on giving South Dakotans solar panels and batteries to ride out power outages. The city of Ann Arbor, Michigan is doing just that…
