‘Come fund our government’ isn’t likely to succeed as a tourism slogan

South Dakota is considering an unconventional approach to fund its government through tourism, suggesting visitors could pay a fee instead of locals paying property taxes. This proposal, backed by a Republican gubernatorial candidate, aims to shift the financial burden away from residents. While it's an interesting idea to explore alternative revenue streams, it's unlikely to succeed as a tourism slogan and could alienate visitors who already feel pressured by taxes. This move highlights broader debates about tax policies and their impact on both residents and tourists.
