Move For Extra $25 Is Defeated in South Dakota
In Pierre a late bid by South Dakota House members to add 25 dollars per member to the extraordinary assembly pay failed by one vote. Rep Matt Hafner Newell offered to raise the total from 10200 to 13900, arguing it would reward service. The amendment passed but final passage needed two thirds and only eight voted yes, twenty four opposed. The House then moved to reconsider, arguing the bill would create a funding mess, and ultimately struck the amendment to approve the expense bill as Senate had.
