GOVERNOR LARRY RHODEN UNVEILED A COUNTY MAP THURSDAY THAT SHOWS HOW MUCH SOUTH DAKOTANS SAVE IN EACH COUNTY UNDER HIS PLAN TO CUT PROPERTY TAXES, WHICH IS SENATE BILL 96.
SDPROPMAP1 OC…LONG LOOK AT THIS. :15
RHODEN PREVIOUSLY INTRODUCED HIS PLAN TO CUT PROPERTY TAXES IN THE STATE, WHICH WOULD GIVE COUNTIES THE OPTION TO REPLACE THEIR SHARE OF PROPERTY TAXES WITH A HALF-CENT SALES TAX.
COUNTY COMMISSIONS COULD IMPLEMENT THE TAX CUT, OR IT COULD BE REFERRABLE TO A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE.
RESIDENTS COULD ALSO INITIATE IT FOR A VOTE IN THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITY.
THE SALES TAX PROPOSAL WOULD ALSO HELP COUNTIES DRAW MORE REVENUES FROM TOURISTS AND OUT-OF-STATE VISITORS.
