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

… been living the nightmare for some time down here … the politicians recruiting from north south and west… land my kin killed for giving way to californians, wetbacks and yankees… problem is you can’t shoot trespassers anymore due to harsh repercussion from federal law…. Wish they’d at least allow us to stick a lit blackcat firecracker up a few of their butts every now then as a mild deterrent lol

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!

Yessir … and property taxes will leave you needing to work till the grave to keep up if it’s anything like here

.. I swear a few packs of blackcats and a lighter could solve it

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%

… the family size roll of cats… a full butane lighter and some wd40 for the puckerbutts would put a stop to it quick….. tell me I’m lying!

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...

… I’m not going to get into political discussion any further than promoting the use of blackcat fireworks as a deterrent ……and once again stating the obvious.. that us Rebs were right

… we’ll all just sleep uneasy in the bed that’s been made until someone with grit gets ahold of some bottle rockets and high octane sparklers I guess

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

… well in that case we could just give ‘em the good old fashion Indian burn

… that’s a deterrent for sure if administered correctly

.. still got a bare spot on my arm to this day from one
