Has anyone else from MN get a flyer in the mail with the SD Govenor on it saying come move to the land of the free?

Big push for trades workers on the new commercials running over the last few months. Lots of opportunities here the pays not great but no State income taxes the cost of livings is not bad.

I came here 40 years ago with no plans of leaving anytime soon.

No but given the current state of affairs here I wouldn't mind looking at it. I planned to die on the hunk of dirt but I am rethinking that decision.

If my wife would consider it I’d be there now Good state for a trapper or for any outdoor person for that matter.

No mail but the SD Governor is on tv ad here everyday trying to recruit employees to move there.

The adds are so good that it sounds like our governor has bought a place in SD and plans on moving there after his term is up.

Why are they so eager to wreck a good thing? Growth and GDP are not the only measures of success, I wish politicians could understand that

It all comes down to the almighty dollar. IMO a great state like SD should want to stay such. They need a litmus test for who gets in and who cannot get in. This is where these chamber of commerce republicans fall off the table. Per a Google search 31% of south Dakotas population are registered dems - how long will it take to overwhelm the state?

What are they thinking?? Throw away our quality of life so I can make more $$.

I'd move to western SD in a minute...if I could afford it

Minnesota is a disaster and some of us are easy pickings for a state that values common sense.

Watched it here. My most conservative friend is a prime example. "we need growth so I can continue to build houses. Which will add a couple million to my net worth". Ask him who is buying those houses? The answer is always "people who sold their house in CA for a couple million. They can come out here and buy a $750k house 3x the size". Unfortunately they don't leave their politics in CA. And as a result this state blows chunks.

Been here my whole life don’t plan to leave anytime soon, Wyoming or Alaska would probably be the only places I’d consider. We have WAY to many of the wrong type of people coming here!

I think about it from time to time but my kind of fishing and trapping lies in the east...But I hate the wind. Maybe I haven't explored enough of the state yet.

Agreed to above who stated MN has become a complete disaster. !00%

Yep the property tax beating just started here. And predictably, here is the chamber of commerce repubs collecting signatures to get on the ballot that any property tax increase larger than 4% would have to go thru the voters. So I guess a 3.99% increase is A-OK per the repubs. Why not collect those same signatures to say any proposed property tax increase requires a vote? Apparently repubs think that's too extreme but in reality they're eating at the same trough as dems are...

Not saying I don't like your solution. I'm just not sure China will send us that many blackcats.

SD is a great state, but if anyone is thinking the Sioux Falls area, youll be happier if you look at other areas. Is it better than Minneapolis? Of course. A lot. But, everywhere you look is full of liberal wackos and criminals. There are decent people there, but it’s changed drastically the past few years. High taxes and real estate for the midwest at least. Get an hour away.

South Dakota is a great state to live in, was there for 7 years, best hunting, trapping and fishing of anywhere I’ve lived, MN and now WI. Low wages were a problem but cost of living was much lower.

The downhill trend for any city is to be the City of the Year it attracts the best and the worst after that but the worst in there to stay. The meat packing plants attract every minority around for the cheap labor jobs. 95% of the evening perp walks on the news are from our lowest population groups.

Sioux Falls lost a lot of its hometown shine years ago when it won best city in America it was never the same after that. It’s still better any larger city just not what it was at one time before. Less than a million people in the whole state is appealing to some and scares others, if you’re willing to work you can fulfill your dreams here.

I can remember when my wife got a letter from SD promising a free house to Teachers who would commit to moving and teaching there. The downfall was the pay.

So many people are slaves to those paychecks and waste a lot of their lives worshipping the almighty dollar living in places they really don’t want to live in. My buddy lived in Chicago driving a fuel truck until he moved to MO never seen a guy so happy to be there just a shame he did not do it years earlier.
