STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA DENNIS DAUGAARD, GOVERNOR December 29, 2017 To The Members of the Legislature and Citizens of South Dakota, As Governor of the great state of South Dakota, I take very seriously our obligation and responsibility to provide timely and accurate financial reporting. Therefore, it gives me great pleasure to present the State’s 31st Comprehensive Annual Financial Report covering operations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. This report is prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes all agencies of state government and reporting entities for which the state has oversight responsibilities. Like previous reports, this report presents to you, and the financial community, the sound financial condition of South Dakota. South Dakota’s economy continues to diversify and grow at a steady pace due to a low tax burden and favorable business climate. In fiscal year 2017, the state’s nonfarm employment expanded by more than 5,300 jobs, or an increase of 1.3 percent. Employment sectors that contributed to this growth included construction, healthcare, education, leisure, hospitality, and business services. In addition to the growth in nonfarm employment, the unemployment rate remained among the lowest in the nation and nonfarm income grew at a rate higher than the national average. As Governor of this great state, I am committed to four financial priorities: Increasing job growth, economic development, and visitor spending, Taking care of those who cannot take care of themselves, Providing our children with a quality education, and Protecting our society from those who would do us harm. South Dakota continues to operate within our means and provide these basic services to our citizens, as we have since statehood in 1889.

  • Foundation's 2020 Annual Report
    FOUNDATION’S 2020 ANNUAL REPORT The Trail of Governors project survived the year 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic by hitting pause. The Trail of Governors Foundation board members decided to hold off on hosting an unveiling ceremony or installing new statues. The actual trail remains as it appeared at the start of 2020, with 25 bronze statues. While in pause mode, the board was still obligated to make payments to the artists for their work to-date on the year’s commissioned statues. Attempts to seek donors and payments from those that relayed interest in donating pre-Covid-19 were dismal given the economic uncertainty and health concerns brought by the pandemic. Therefore, board members and advisors got busy filling out applications for grants to find financial assistance. The project was awarded two grants, one from the South Dakota Small Business Grant for $80,000 and one from the South Dakota Humanities Council’s CARES Relief Act for $10,000. These grants provided the necessary support to make M.Charles Michael Herreid Rounds – 4th- 31st Governor Governor of Southof South Dakota Dakota payments to the 2020 – now year 2021 – sculptors. 2020 Trail of Governors Annual Report Charles H. Sheldon, a Pierpont Republican and farmer, was the state’s 2nd governor. He served in the territorial legislative council prior to being elected governor. Sheldon was a popular Straight orator, representing the Republican party at events across South Dakota following his term Ahead, 2021 as governor. It was in Deadwood where he died from pneumonia while on such a tour. Board members remain focused on the unveiling ceremony scheduled for10 a.m.

  • Project Rural Practice: Its People & Its Purpose
    PROJECT RURAL PRACTICE: ITS PEOPLE & ITS PURPOSE PATRICK G. GOETZINGER† ROBERT L. MORRIS† This article recounts the story of Project Rural Practice (“PRP”) from its inception to date. Like the story of rural America, the story of PRP cannot be effectively told without telling the story of its people. The common interest for each of these people is expressed in the purpose of PRP, which is both to assure meaningful access to legal services in rural communities and also to ensure rural communities remain “not just viable, but thriving.”1 The compelling story of PRP illustrates what can be accomplished when good people work toward a common purpose. Our hope is the story of PRP motivates and inspires positive action here at home and elsewhere in rural America. I. INTRODUCTION 2 A. THE COUNTRY LAWYER: A DEEP-ROOTED RURAL HISTORY [Ee] could have gone to the city, but [hisers] roots are deep in [hisers] community. [Ee] is the man [or woman] of action whenever the community needs leadership. [Ee] makes a living, and a good one considering the resources of the community, but no fellow citizen with a problem stays away because [ee’s] afraid of the legal fee. Lawyer [ee] is, and philosopher too, who loves the community [ee] serves beyond the measure of money or personal honors. [Hisers] principal compensation comes from the love and praise of [hisers] fellowmen.

  • Letter from the South Dakota Department of Environment And
    DEPARTMENT of ENVIRONMENT and NATURAL RESOURCES JOE FOSS BUILDING 523 EAST CAPITOL PIERRE, SOUTH DAKOTA 57501-3182 denr.sd.gov June 19, 2017 Scott Pruitt, Administrator .Douglas W. Lamont, P.E. US Environmental Protection Agency Department of the Army 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW 108 Army Pentagon Washington, DC 20460 Washington, DC 20310-0108 Dear Administrator Pruitt and Mr. Lamont: I am writing to express my appreciation for the opportunity to provide input on the efforts to revise the definition of waters of the United States. When Congress passed the Clean Water Act in 1972, the Act's declared objective in Section 101 (a) is "to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's waters." In Section 101 (b), Congress also specifically declared "[i]t is the policy of the Congress to recognize, preserve, and protect the primary responsibilities and rights of States to prevent, reduce, and eliminate pollution, to plan the development and use (including restoration, preservation, and enhancement) of land and water resources, and to consult with the Administrator [of EPA] in the exercise of his authority under this Act." In South Dakota, we firmly believe these two declarations can and should go hand-in-hand. However, in recent years, this objective and policy have appeared at odds with one another. In our federalist system, the states and the federal government share responsibility for controlling water pollution. Much of the progress under the Clean Water Act has depended on the ability of state and federal regulators working together toward protecting and restoring the nation's water quality.

    August 20, 2021 Contact: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Constance Walter, Communications Director Sanford Underground Research Facility 605.722.4025 (office); 402.560.6116 (cell) [email protected] SDSTA dedicates Rounds Operations Center New operations facility was named for Senator M. Michael Rounds to honor his leadership in the creation of the Sanford Underground Research Facility LEAD, SD— On August 20, 20201, the South Dakota Science and Technology Authority (SDSTA) dedicated the Rounds Operation Center (ROC) to honor former Governor and current U.S. Senator Mike Rounds for his efforts to bring Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) to South Dakota. The dedication was followed by a ribbon cutting ceremony and a picnic luncheon for staff and guests. Rounds, who was governor of South Dakota as efforts ramped up to secure the Homestake Gold Mine as a future underground research laboratory, thanked the SDSTA for the recognition and pointed to the partnerships that made the creation of SURF possible. “The joy of discovery is not something we get when we do things alone. You get it when you do things with other people,” said Rounds. “This undertaking brought together the scientific community, political community, engineering community and technological community. In the end, it took people who want to get things done, setting their differences aside and working together.” “It was a daunting task to obtain the property and turn a mile deep wet hole into a world-class science facility,” said Casey Peterson, chairperson of the SDSTA Board of Directors. “Our honored guest shone through all of this. He told us not to give up; he supported us.

  • South Dakota 2015 Gas Tax Increase (SB 1)
    South Dakota Senate Bill 1 (2015) Title of Bill: Senate Bill 1 Purpose: Revise certain taxes and fees to: fund improvements to public roads and bridges in South Dakota, to increase the maximum speed limit on interstate highways, and to declare an emergency. i Status of Amendment: Passed South Dakota Senate Bill 1 (2015) Signed into law: March 30, 2015 Senate House FOR 25 55 AGAINST 8 11 History State Gas Tax The state gas tax on gasoline and diesel for highway use has not been increase since 1999, when Bill Janklow (R) was governor. Subsequent governors Mike Rounds and Dennis Daugaard were both vocally opposed to highway-tax increases, until Dauggard changed his position in the beginning of 2015. ii Gas Tax Distribution & Transportation Funding Sources Most of the funds generated by SB 1 will go towards state work, but some will go into a local bridge fund managed by the state Transportation Commission. The gas tax increase will produce an estimated $40.5 million and the excise tax an additional $27 million to $30 million. Additionally the license plate increases are expected to generate $18 million for counties, their share depending on the number of vehicles registered there. ii Need South Dakota, like many states, is struggling to maintain funding for their transportation system. Roads-Currently, South Dakota’s state roads are considered to be in good conditions, with only 2 percent rated “poor” and 9 percent rated “fair.” By 2024 though, the state Department of Transportation predicts that 25 percent of roads will be “poor” and 27 percent “fair.” For local governments the current situation is more urgent.
