South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard has told county commissions to “be patient” as money from taxes and fees that were raised last year flow to local governments. Many counties are feeling the pinch between road repairs and law enforcement costs.
Representative Mike Stevens of Yankton says counties still have some local taxing options…..

Stevens says there is only one bill so far that has any money for counties this year…..

Stevens says counties may have to wait and see the outcome of the education and Medicaid initiatives to see if there are any other funding options.
