I’d like to thank the whole South Dakota House Commerce and Energy Committee for standing strong with working families and voting 13-0 to table HB 1261. I urge you to work with your colleagues on a bi-partisan agenda to create good, middle-class jobs for South Dakota. South Dakotans strongly rejected HB1261 and reject all political attacks on working families funded by out-of-state groups. We want business and labor, Democrats and Republicans, to work together to solve our state's problems and create jobs.
Why is this important?
After over 500 South Dakotans signed our petition opposing HB 1261—which would have taken away collective bargaining rights for hard-working public workers—the South Dakota House Commerce and Energy Committee voted 13-0 to table the bill.
The committee heard you loud and clear that using firefighters, police officers, and teachers as scapegoats to make a political point isn't right for South Dakota.
Now, I'm launching a new SignOn petition, thanking committee members who stood with working families. Will you add your name?
