SD Lawmakers Will Have More Money to Work With

The legislature will be working with a little more money than projected, but that could create some bigger problems.

Tax revenue will be up about nineteen million dollars more than what Governor Dennis Daugaard included in his December forecast.

He says that will cover most increasing costs

State employees, Medicaid providers, and schools are all looking for increases. Daugaard says he isn’t sure which way legislators are leaning

Daugaard says he is willing to talk about funding options

The last day of the main run of the session is March 9th.
