SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - A Sioux Falls resident encouraged the Minnehaha County Commission this morning to continue seeking an alcohol user’s fee.
However, Matt Wahls did advocate exempting South Dakota made spirits, wine and beer from the tax.
Wahls says if people complain about paying a user's fee, they can buy South Dakota-made products that taste better and are better for the local economy.
Legislation for a county liquor tax has fared poorly in Pierre.
Wahls' comments came during the opportunity for public comment segment available at each Minnehaha County Commission meeting.
