In Beck’s imaginary world citizens support tax increases

I highly suggest that instead of writing columns anymore for the Argus Endorser, Beck just build a bed under his desk and sleep the day away, because his opinion is incredibly off base;
But that openness, it seemed, didn’t extend to any future effort to give cities and counties the authority to ask voters for approval to levy a temporary 1-cent sales tax to pay for certain public works projects – something we’d been trying to pin him down on since the campaign last year.
You might recall such a bill, with the backing of the municipal league and most cities and counties, experienced a brief life in the Legislature last year before being tarred, feathered and run out of Pierre on a rail.
And for good reason, a majority of citizens don’t even want taxpayer money wasted on voting on it, let alone passing it. What world does Beck live in? Why is he under the impression that this would ever pass voters? It would be freaking doomed from the beginning, and the committee overseeing it killed it instead of allowing it to fail in front of voters.
It amazes me that a guy that has a great sense of humor, incredible writing skills and extensive knowledge of open government, sure is naive.
Everyone needs to sacrifice, just not the corporations coming to our state
Representative Hunhoff called Doogard out on his bullshit today;
Democratic legislative leaders on Thursday criticized South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard’s plan to continue giving refunds on construction taxes to large industrial projects.
House Democratic Leader Bernie Hunhoff of Yankton said the Republican governor’s proposal could cost $15 million a year at a time when the money should instead be used to soften budget cuts in education and health care for poor people.
What amazes me  is that during these down times we cut education but think it is okay to give refunds to out of state corporations? South Dakota’s motto, “Big business first, citizens last.”
Daugaard and the Democrats have agreed the state should no longer give tax breaks to projects such as the TransCanada Keystone crude oil pipelines that would be built across South Dakota regardless of any tax refund.
Duh! Why did we to begin with? TransCanada HAS NO CHOICE they have to come thru South Dakota, what freaking incentive do they need? North Dakota and Nebraska didn’t give them squat.
