SDPB news producer Kealey Bultena explains the Attorney General's brief of Measure 15. Bultena talked with Andy Wiese, a representative of Moving South Dakota Forward, a coalition in favor of Initiated Measure 15, and Jeremiah M. Murphy, who represents groups against Initiated Measure 15. Initiated Measure 15 increases the state sales tax by one percent and designates that money to K-12 education and Medicaid providers. Some groups say it's the most effective way to serve schools and Medicaid service providers after legislative cuts that haven't been restored. Others say the regressive tax is the wrong way for South Dakotans to support funding education and Medicaid providers.
