Amy, thank you for bringing attention to this. As was witnessed in Sioux Falls just last week, collecting that many signatures is incredibly difficult even when it is a nonpartisan issue and gets at least some news coverage. 20 days is barely enough time to get the word out to the voters, much less gather signatures.
People are at a mental and financial breaking point and the excuses of spending is salt on the wounds. The ones wielding the power & have the “credit card” aka/taxpayers $$, preach “get involved & speak up if you want to make a difference.” Well, as a certain SD Senator speaking on behalf of his company said, regarding the astounding 300 people who packed the city council meeting, blew it off saying “only the angry show up.”
Damed if we do, Damned if we don’t.
Another SF Legislator, when asked if we’ll get tax relief (ironically after bragging about getting the $650,000,000 prison) said, “We’re broke! The State is broke.”
Well, then vote for this bill, Legislators.
Call or text the Legislators. Enough is enough. It’s OUR turn.
It seems redundant and likely to waste more tax money on more elections. voting for the school board already covers this, if you don’t like it then vote for the people who agree with you.
When the choice is between one-side and the same side, there’s no choice. And the person that runs against that already has at least a 4% uphill climb & not nearly as much money as lobbyist $$.

I very much support this bill! We voters should pay attention on the actions on this bill. As always, we the people.

Vote YES on SB85!
We know it’s necessary. The state keeps reneging on its promises.
I’m a busy grandpa!
