Truck Tax Law Change Opposed by State Highway Commission
The South Dakota Highway Commission urged caution on the truck tax law referendum, arguing its suspension or defeat would harm highway maintenance and tax relief. It notes that heavy trucks bear higher fees and foreign owners would pay license fees, with counties retaining most revenue to ease local taxes. The commission frames the issue as public welfare versus a few large truck interests and manufacturers.
