SIOUX FALLS, S.D -- (KELO.com) Kristi Noem will launch her Kickstart the Economy Tour on Monday, March 26, highlighting her agenda to get South Dakota’s economy booming again. During the tour, Noem will meet with a number of students, job creators, and young professionals.
“South Dakota does a lot of things right, but our economy is falling behind,” said Noem in announcing the tour. “In fact, in the latest Bureau of Economic Analysis report, South Dakota ranked last for both GDP and personal income growth. We can do better. As governor, my goal will be to kickstart our economy - and not through more boards, commissions, or blue ribbon committees. Instead, I will lift the government burden from entrepreneurs, make it easier to work, and create new opportunities for South Dakotans to prosper.”
