South Dakota governor calls for eliminating grocery tax
Gov. Kristi Noem called Tuesday for using the state’s surplus to eliminate the tax charged on groceries and lower other taxes in a State of the State address that steered clear of the hot-button topic of abortion. The Republican governor, who is seen as a potential contender for the 2024 White House, delivered her address as the Legislature’s nine-week session began. “South Dakotans need this relief," said Noem, whose executive budget calls for repealing the state’s 4.5% sales tax on groceries, a move that would save taxpayers $100 million.
