Indian Country lawmaker claims Sioux Falls owner-occupied home on tax filings
Residency of South Dakota Sen. Tamara Grove scrutinized; tribal leaders, District 26 constituents can't corroborate legislator's community involvement
A lawmaker who represents a rural South Dakota district that includes a large swath of Indian Country has been a longtime Sioux Falls resident under a different name.
State Sen. Tamara Grove is running for a second term to represent District 26, which stretches from east of Chamberlain to the Nebraska boarder west of the Missouri River. The district encompasses the Lower Brule, Crow Creek and Rosebud Indian reservations.
According to documents obtained by The Dakota Scout, Grove has been a resident of Sioux Falls. She owns a home in the 3000 block of East 25th Street in Sioux Falls. It’s located in District 14 — represented by State Reps. Tony Kayser and Taylor Rehfeldt and State Sen. Larry Zikmund.
