Aberdeen Development Corporation opposes IM28

ABERDEEN, S.D.(HubCityRadio)- Last week, the Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce announced that they would be opposing IM28(Repeal of Consumption Tax).  At Monday night’s city council meeting, the Aberdeen Development Corporation announced they also are opposing IM28.

Executive Director Mike Bockorny talks about how vague the measure is.

Bockorny discuss how they try to define the work consumption.

Bockorny talks about how much this could cost the city of Aberdeen if passed.

Aberdeen City Manager Robin Bobzien talks about this potential cut could impact the budget.

Bobzien explains that the city should be prepared in case it does pass.

Aberdeen City Attorney Ron Wager(Wag-er) reminds the public that the council can’t put out an official stance but can do a resolution to talk about what the impact IM28 could have to the city.

The City of Aberdeen may address this at a future council meeting between now and the general elections in November.
