There should be a tax exemption for food
Another state board gets together.
Amazes me that all of these poor fools line up to cry about keeping their tax exemptions, yet the voice of the poor are ignored;
On Tuesday, about 50 people attended a meeting of the state Legislature’s Sales Tax Review Committee, which has been directed to come up with exemptions to lift this coming session.
Here’s the deal, manage to lift the tax on unprepared food, and I will support your cause. Otherwise, not only do I think they should tax you, but they should tax you double.
While education trust funds gain millions last year, SD Repugs continue to peddle the lie
High School dropout? No problem, you are still qualified to make croutons.
The South Dakota Retirement System ended its latest financial year with $1.6 billion more than it had a year ago, the result of robust investment earnings. That will allow a larger increase in pension payments next summer, officials said Monday.
I applaud the state for prudent investing, but the real story here is in the last sentence of this article;
Clark told lawmakers that trust funds supporting education and health care programs also grew by more than 20 percent last year.
So the trust funds grew that much, but we had to cut education by 6%? It just doesn’t add up. Investment funds are for rainy day situations, governor, it’s time to stop beating education to a pulp. Education is an investment into the future. But maybe DooGard has revealed his true intentions, dumb people work cheap;
“We’re out there just trying to promote South Dakota and the business environment we have, the positive business environment — tax structure, low regulation, high productivity workforce — it’s something we’re not afraid to tell people,” (Pat Costello) he said.
That’s because South Dakotans know they must work twice as hard (physically) to get anywhere in life due to the lack of good education programs.
Call me crazy, but I have often felt Republicans in this state have starved education for years to stay in control and to keep our workforce dumbed down. You have to pay smart people more money.
Now shut up and go make some croutons!
Vern ‘The Velvet Hammer’ Brown settles it; We have plenty of money for snowgates!
City officials are asking the Sioux Falls City Council for about $3 million more next year for snow removal and to accommodate higher fuel prices because money allotted for snow removal and street maintenance this year is running out.
And according to Vern, that is no big deal;
If the street department goes over budget, Brown said the money probably would come from the city’s reserves. “We’ve got healthy reserves to take care of those kinds of issues,” he said.
Thank You Vern for settling the debate. We have plenty of money not only to plow our streets, but to plow them properly by using snowgates. So the next time I hear you piss and moan about the expense of snow gates, I will just pull up this quote.
