SIOUX FALLS,SD (KELO-AM) - Voters in South Dakota have alot to think about before heading to the polls. Besides candidate races, ten ballot issues, as constitutional amendments, initiated measures, referred laws give voters a chance to change governance of vocational and technical education, create new crime victim laws, cap payday loan rates, remove party labels from elections, and re-draw political boundaries. Another allows corporate organizations and non-profit organizations, such as unions, the right to charge a fee for services. Taxpayer funding of political campaigns is another proposal facing voters.
