Minnehaha County homeowners shouldn't expect an additional cut in property taxes anytime soon.
But you won't be paying more in sales tax either.
ADVERTISEMENTCounty Commission Chairman Dean Karsky said Tuesday there aren't plans to push through the tax swap, an option that was backed by Gov.
"I don't get the sense that there's a lot of support for it," Karsky said during an interview with Sioux Falls Live Editor Patrick Lalley.
"You're just moving money from one pocket to another and quite honestly, the people who don't own property, the renters, those who are least able to afford are those who probably are going to pay the most."
