Cuts In Federal Funding For Food Will Hurt Pantries And Producers

Montana Roem is worried that a proposed $1 billion cut to federal food programs that aid schools and charities will hurt her family on two fronts. As she waited in a line of cars at a Feeding South Dakota mobile food bank in Box Elder on March 27, Roem said she was well aware of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s move to eliminate two programs that paid for locally grown foods to be provided to food banks and for school meals across the U.S. 04/10/2025 10:27 AM

Poll: REGIONS FOR AMBULANCE SERVICE? A legislative task force is considering a plan to organize South Dakota’s ambulance services into eight to 14 regions, potentially with state oversight and funding to help keep emergency medical services sustainable. The proposal comes as many ambulance services face financial challenges, low reimbursement rates and an aging, often volunteer workforce. Lawmakers say the goal is to ensure an ambulance can respond when someone calls 911, but establishing the regions and determining how they would be funded could take years. Do you support creating regional ambulance service systems with state oversight and potential state funding?

Yes, regional systems could help ensure reliable ambulance service.

No, ambulance services should remain organized locally.

Unsure. I would need more information about how it would work.
