Lawmakers torn over tax bills and data centers, all about that odor in Sioux Falls, and gaveling with gusto
from Searchlight Report · host Meghan O'Brien
In the sixth episode of Searchlight Report, Meghan rounds up the fight to incentivize or restrict data centers, and the flurry of property tax relief bills that are moving through the Legislature. An education committee advances a bill that would allow charter schools in the state, and a major Sioux Falls meatpacking plant is finding a new home in the city. Also, a bill that would have established data collection for “assisted reproductive technology” founders in the state House of Representatives, and the state Senate welcomes a “guest gaveler” with plenty of gusto.
