It is the beginning of a new session and the legislature will be asking for more cuts than proposed by the Governor. South Dakota is facing a 52 million dollar deficit over the next 18 months. Starting in fiscal year 2012 we are projected to have a 107 million dollar deficit. The primary goal is to reduce spending to avoid painful tax increases and preserve funds for darker days. In addition to finding areas to cut spending, I will be introducing several bills. One of the bills I am sponsoring seeks to divest state funds from companies doing business with Iran. South Dakota has over 60 million dollars invested in foreign oil companies that are making substantial improvements to the Islamic Republic and their petroleum production infrastructure. I look forward to sharing more, please join the email list on the left column and I will send you a weekly update during session. Thank you for your continued interest and support. I look forward to hearing from you. |
