Property Tax Reform Drawing Critics

Posted on Wednesday, February 6, 2008

While South Dakota legislators slog through property tax reform proposals, a conservative tax watch dog group is being very critical of their efforts.

The state house approved a bill that would eliminate the 150 percent rule, and base taxes on Ag land productivity.

Duane Sand, state director of Americans for Prosperity says the bill that passed is not a good one.

Sand says HB1005, the bill that passed, is shortsighted, and could lead to an income tax.
