PIERRE, S.D.(KELO)- State lawmakers are concerned about the impact of Initiated Measure 28.
At a minimum, it will cost the state about 124-million dollars in lost revenue.
At a maximum, the budget hole could grow to over 640-million, depending on how the ballot language is interpreted.
The main focus for the South Dakota Municipal League during its annual convention this week is the impact on municipalities.
Sam Nelson is the general council for the league.
Nearly all of the Municipal League’s members have signed on to oppose the measure.
Fiscal note on the 2024 ballot states:
“Municipalities could continue to tax anything sold for human consumption.”
