RAPID CITY, S.D. â South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem likes to present herself as a ânormal everydayâ person âwho enjoys life.â
Appearing at FreedomFest 21, a gathering of 2,700 conservatives and libertarians, Noem said, ânobody knew who I was until liberals began attacking me every night on the national news.â Sheâs referring to her conservative views on economic and social issues.
Noem benefits from a roaring economy. She says there are fewer than 2,500 South Dakotans on public assistance and 28,000 job openings. The state has no sales tax. Property taxes average 1.22 percent. Annual economic growth is 9.9 percent, among the nationâs best. Houses are inexpensive relative to many other places. With such figures itâs no surprise thereâs been a population growth of 8.9 percent since 2010.
