PR work now after 1052.
Open for opportunity rings pretty hollow when the door gets slammed in the face of agriculture. Billions of dollars of investment jeopardized but hay it’s easier to open a saloon. Good forward thinking there Gov.
Fees fees and more fees. Good job!
Don’t forget the new regulations to go along with that helping of new fees.
It doesn’t do anything to ease licensing and fees to do business in South Dakota. The Governor and this year’s legislature told the world we don’t want investments, progress in our state to improved or retain agricultural value added industries! The closure of Cimpl’s in Yankton is likely just the start of the loss of jobs in South Dakota!
Trying to make him look like he supports businesses coming to SD🤣 He slammed the door on that cowering to the Anti Ag bullies…Changing the rules after millions were invested & billions more would have come to SD. Great Job Mr Governor…you managed to hurt SD Farmers & destroying SDs future economy!!
It’s amusing if he thinks this is going to make people support him in a run for Governor. He’s had plenty of chances over the last 7 years, he doesn’t need more.
THIS list stands for opportunity?
Lololol
What are we gonna ban next year? This group isn’t for anything and however you made the political calculation that this is good for your future Larry was beside me. Understanding of course Tony was beside you. You can say let’s move on, and believe me billions and billions of dollars already have.
I mean Mortenson and Rehfeldt both voted for 1052 so who exactly do you want leading the legislature?
Agree with him or not Jim Mehlhaff stuck to his principles.
There’s plenty of times I don’t agree with melhaff but his proposal was the best approach presented. If it was really about eminent domain, as they claimed, they would have ran with his. Obviously it was a vendetta against one company.
Tony acolytes until very recently. 4 D chess. For the project while voting to kill it, refusing to accept the premise of anyone actually involved.
