In departure from last year, GOP Senate leadership on board for tax cut

But it won't necessarily be the proposal adopted by the House

PIERRE – Last year, lawmakers in the South Dakota House of Representatives were clamoring to cut taxes.

Their counterparts in the Senate, not so much.

But it’s a new year. With it comes more record revenues and a $104 million sales tax cut passed by the House of Representatives Wednesday.

The Senate’s Republican leadership is singing a new tune this year, signaling that the Senate is on board with a tax cut.
