Taking care of those who cannot take care of themselves--the very young and the very old
Protecting society from those who would do us harm
Providing a quality education for our children because they are our future

Internet sales tax to raise education funding
Out-of-state companies make millions of dollars in sales in South Dakota over the Internet, but they avoid collecting sales tax. Fortunately, the South Dakota legislature has already approved a "fix" for this problem, enabling a smooth transition to
Internet sales tax collection. The moratorium expires in 2003. Thus, we can conservatively expect to eliminate the on-going deficit, reduce property taxes by an additional 5%, and increase state aid to education by about $250 per child.
