According to Governor Noem, stronger ongoing revenue was one of three things whichĀ helped bring the raiseĀ to fruition.Ā The other two were less financial strain on state social services and freezing the increase in the state maintenance budget at just 1.6 percent.

The governor also said that a deal has been reached with the Legislature to fully fund the hemp production program at the level she said is needed at $3.5M.
