The South Dakota Republican leadership in the Legislature is providing STRONG leadership!!
Strong……. but WRONG!!!!!
Solid Republicans across the state sent these folks to Pierre with a CLEAR set of instructions. The Republican Party platform is a statement of how voters in the party expect to be represented.
Section 5:2 reads:
“The South Dakota Republican Party supports the continued review and reduction of federal, state and local taxation…”
So how has your Republican leadership team been doing with this job?
Last year, the Republican leadership led the way to $60 Million dollars in TAX INCREASES.
This year, they continue to lead in supporting tax increases!
Look at their votes on key tax increase bills.
