South Dakota residents are using billboard advertisements to go after Gov. Kristi Noem for moves made during the last eight months, drawing bipartisan criticism.
The first-term governor last November authorized the use of state tax dollars to challenge the legality of a voter-approved ballot measure legalizing marijuana. And this summer, Noem accepted a $1 million donation from a Tennessee billionaire to cover the cost of sending 50 soldiers with the South Dakota National Guard to the southern border.
Both moves were met with heavy criticism from both Democrats and Noem s fellow Republicans in and outside of South Dakota. And now, billboard companies are cashing in as a group of west river residents and a Sioux Falls-based political action committee (PAC) are paying thousands to run ads that call Noem out for the controversial moves.
