From KELO:
Members of the House State Affairs Committee added the idea Monday to a highway funding bill working its way through Pierre. The proposal would increase the speed limit to 80 mph on Interstate highways.

Looks like I’m going to need a new car. Porsche 911 please.
This is interesting. Can someone who listened to the testimony explain the arguments for the proposed change? Does it come down to higher speed limits mean less fuel efficiency, which translates into more gasoline tax revenue? Or is that a little to simplistic?
*too
I already do 80, so no sweat.
Conference committee fodder…….
Instead of wasting time on this pawn we should be talking about high school boys calling themselves girls and being allowed to play on the girls team according to the South Dakota High School Activities Association. Talk about a perverted progressive policy…….
Tax and spend liberalism goes to tax and speed ala Bill Janklow, and Charlie brings up boys playing like boys with the girls. I say this is the most liberal South Dakota legislative sessions of all time. Charlie, it is just plain perverted, nothing that sounds like progress to me.
INCREASE the speed limit to 80 on Interstates?!? Heck, I thought on that east-west highway in SD, the speed limit was 90! I do agree with increasing the speed limit on that north-south highway in SD from 29 to 80. The highways were designed for higher speeds. I believe people can safely travel the interstates outside of cities at 85-90 mph. Considering the HWP usually has a fudge factor of 5-10 mph, that is the speed most people will travel.
