HIGH DOLLAR HUGHES

ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL?

John Hughes says he delivered “property tax relief.”
Critics say it’s just a tax swap dressed up as savings.

THE REALITY:

Higher statewide sales taxes

• Potential local sales taxes up to 8%

• Working families pay more at checkout

• Rural communities hit hardest

• Small businesses are squeezed even tighter

THE SHELL GAME:

Take money through:

• Groceries

• Everyday purchases

• Local sales taxes

Then call it “relief” when a portion comes back through property tax offsets.

FOR MANY SOUTH DAKOTANS:

ZERO REAL SAVINGS.

What families save on one bill may disappear immediately through:

• Higher prices

• Higher local taxes

• Higher daily costs

SOUTH DAKOTANS WANT REAL RELIEF.

Not budgeting gimmicks.
Not tax swaps.
Not political talking points.

SOUTH DAKOTA DESERVES BETTER.
