PIERRE — Democrats in Pierre, for years, have pushed to remove the tax on groceries. This year, House Bill 1075 would have done that. The measure was a focused theme of Governor Kristi Noem’s reelection campaign. The bill failed this week and House Assistant Minority Leader Erin Healy of Sioux Falls blamed Noem herself…
A bill to cut the overall sales tax is still in play, but Senate Minority Leader Reynold Nesiba says that’s not good enough…
Healy says any attempt to bring the food tax cut bill back will be rejected by Democrats…
The only active tax cut is to reduce the overall state sales tax from four-point-five to four-point-two percent. That bill moves to the South Dakota Senate after passage this week by the South Dakota House.
