Among the proposals outlined in South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s proposed 2022 State Budget are projects that would be paid for using nearly $200 million in one-time money.
District 24 representative-elect Will Mortenson is heading into his first session as a legislator. He wants to see the dollars used on items that will have a lasting impact.
Representative-elect Mike Weisgram is also heading into his first session as a legislator. He says anytime you can strengthen your balance sheet, is a plus.
One of Gov. Noem’s three priorities for the FY2022 budget is restoring and reinvigorating infrastructure. District 24 senator-elect Mary Duvall, who previously served in the House, will chair the Senate Transportation Committee. She hopes some of the one-time dollars are used to upgrade some of the state’s aging roads and bridges.
Along with reinvigorating infrastructure, Noem’s other two priorities for the 2022 state budget are paying off 2010 debt and strengthening communities.
