Senate Bill 1 raises fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees to generate money for fixing roads and bridges. Governor Dennis Daugaard focused on this need in his State of the State address, and the topic dominated the Rapid City crackerbarrel this weekend. SDPB’s Victoria Wicks reports that not all legislators agree on the best way to fund road construction and maintenance.
