A Rapid City legislator says she is concerned that the money from new taxes passed this year may not go where they are intended.
Republican Lynne DiSanto says a new superintendent in Rapid City is hitting the jackpot

Lori Simon was hired as the Superintendent for the Rapid City Schools, and will be paid two hundred seven thousand dollars.

DiSanto, who opposed the half cent sales tax increase, says she isn’t sure the wording in the bill directing eighty five percent of the new money to teachers is strong enough

DiSanto says there are indications that next year’s legislature will have to deal with teacher pay again

DiSanto says there were funding alternatives that were ignored when the sales tax was passed.
