Glad to see that the #sdleg resisted attempts to pass #taxbreaks & incentives for #datacenters. Communities want to participate in the #economicdevelopment conversation, not have projects foisted upon them. www.sdpb.org/politics/202...

We are excited to see HB 1082 passed the legislature & heads to the Governor for his signature. We should be feeding our kids, period. #sdleg #hunger

Good news for communities facing #datacenter development! SB 135 protects #ratepayers from rising #power costs, protects #water resources & affirms #localcontrol. #sdleg

Making sure all SD school children have lunch & that their families do not incur debt for this seems like a commonsense idea. If we care about kids, this is an easy choice southdakotasearchlight.com/2026/03/03/r... #sdleg #hunger

HJR 5001 failed because it was flawed language no matter how good the intent was. Could have been better if more folks had been at the table. And we can't be careless with the constitution app.publicnewsservice.org/story/a-comp... #sdleg #eminentdomain

Disappointed to see HB 1173, which would have required an EIS for #CO2 #pipelines, fail. Communities need access to this type of information when these projects come calling southdakotasearchlight.com/briefs/carbo... #sdleg

Flawed HJR 5001 fails passage in state Senate. While the intent was good, the language was always flawed. We have to do better for a constitutional amendment. southdakotasearchlight.com/2026/03/02/s... #sdleg

Lots of finger-pointing. No one is doing their job. This is why corruption is a big damn problem in #SouthDakota southdakotasearchlight.com/2026/02/27/s... #sdleg

The #taxbreaks are costly - Virginia's #datacenter tax incentive cost the state $1.6 billion last year! South Dakota can't afford this, which is why we've been fighting tax breaks during the #sdleg session

🔥 Michelle Oftedahl on a recent Senate State Affairs hearing: "This is an abuse of the process. Though they didn’t technically do anything wrong, it definitely wasn’t right" on #datacenter bills at the #sdleg www.thedakotascout.com/p/viewpoint-...

Other states are learning that #tax exemptions for #datacenters is not the right move. South Dakota should learn from their missteps & not pass any #taxbreaks here! #sdleg

Heads up #SouthDakota - data center bills are headed to the House & Senate floors today & Monday. Contact your district legislators today! HB 1246 & SB 135 are good for communities! SB 239 will just help #datacenters pocket our #taxdollars bit.ly/4cDJtO4 #sdleg

Crabtree's bills were hoghoused - they were entirely changed shortly before the hearing started. The public had no time to react - very poor legislative work southdakotasearchlight.com/2026/02/18/d... #sdleg #datacenters

Technological innovation has outpaced our privacy protections. As a result, our digital footprint can be tracked by corporations in ways that were once unthinkable. That's why Senate Bill 111 is so important for South Dakota. Tell your lawmakers to support SB 111. #SDLeg

"I think if you're going to bring any industry into, especially Deuel County where it's predominantly ag, it should either complement or support the industry that already dominates the county" - Erik Oftedahl www.sdpb.org/politics/202... #datacenters #sdleg #localcontrol

This: "So, we’re just saying when it comes to the richest tech companies in the world, we don’t think those people in particular should be given a tax break.” - Speaker Jon Hansen www.sdpb.org/politics/202... #sdleg #datacenter #taxpayers

HJR 5001 will allow the South Dakota voters to decide whether to constitutionally protect eminent domain restrictions, was strengthened and clarified through amendments and then passed by the House State Affairs Committee #sdleg #eminentdomain #sdisnotforsale

US soybean prices are down $1 from last year but #SouthDakota beans are down another 80 cents - $1.35. This is crushing for #farmers. Even if federal aid does come, will that help our state budget? Depressed crop prices hit sales tax revenue & the state budget shortfall is considerable #sdleg

SD House votes 51-18 to approve building a new $650M prison to replace the old penitentiary in Sioux Falls. Speaker Hansen led opposition but rallied a lower % of House members than did opponents in Senate. #sdleg

Senate passes new prison bill in special session 24 to 11. Bare minimum vote needed for the 2/3 threshold. Prison bill now goes to the house. #sdleg

When farmers make less money, our communities & state take a hit too. Yet another impact for the next state budget, which is already facing a shortfall. #sdleg #taxdollars #agriculture
