State officials will be watching the monthly sales tax reports very carefully through the end of the fiscal year on June 30th.
South Dakota Lieutenant Governor Matt Michels says he and Governor Dennis Daugaard are optimistic there will be a rebound….

Sales taxes have been falling below projections since last summer.
Michels says the legislature did a good job in passing a tight budget…..

Michels says the state will also see more taxes from online sellers…..

Michels says they don’t anticipate a big bump from Amazon sales yet because the reporting started after the holiday sales season.
