Governor asks travelers to stay safe<br />
Gov. Dennis Daugaard is asking<br />
motorists to be extra careful when<br />
traveling on Labor Day weekend.<br />
Labor Day is the unofficial end<br />
of summer, and families often<br />
make it a time for one final outing<br />
together, the Governor said.<br />
Ten people were killed and 247<br />
others were injured in crashes on<br />
South Dakota roads during the<br />
past five Labor Day weekends, according<br />
to the state Office of Accident<br />
Records. Four of those<br />
fatalities involved alcohol-related<br />
crashes.<br />
“Designating a sober driver and<br />
always making it a firm practice to<br />
never drink and drive greatly in-<br />
crease the chances of having a safe<br />
trip and an enjoyable holiday<br />
weekend,’’ Gov. Daugaard said.<br />
“Most accidents are entirely preventable<br />
if drivers make safe<br />
choices and make sure their passengers<br />
do, too.’’<br />
That means always using seatbelts,<br />
heeding speed limits, not<br />
overdriving road conditions and<br />
never driving after drinking.<br />
“Those are important habits<br />
whenever you travel,’’ the Governor<br />
said. “They are especially important<br />
when additional traffic will be<br />
on our highways during Labor Day<br />
weekend.’’<br />
Pedal tractor pull … Tagg Weller competed at the Turner<br />
County Fair Pedal Pull in Parker, SD. Tagg won a 2nd-place trophy in the<br />
boys’ seven- year-old division with his pull of 32’ 11”. The top three winners<br />
in each age division (4-11) qualified for the state pedal tractor pull which<br />
is held at the Mitchell Corn Palace on Labor Day. The man who provides<br />
the tractors and coordinates the contests said that at the end of the three<br />
month summer pulling circuit, he will have "pulled" 8,000 kids!<br />
Over 70 percent of landowners<br />
to be subjects to death tax<br />
Senator John Thune (R-SD) said<br />
the American Farm Bureau Federation<br />
report released August 21<br />
clearly shows that the Democrat<br />
controlled Senate’s recently passed<br />
tax legislation would jeopardize the<br />
future of 71 percent of South<br />
Dakota’s family farms because it intentionally<br />
returns the death tax<br />
exemption to $1 million next year<br />
instead of keeping it at the current<br />
$5 million.<br />
Over the past few years the<br />
prices of all South Dakota agricultural<br />
land, especially cropland, has<br />
increased substantially. This dramatic<br />
price increase, along with the<br />
Democrats’ proposal to reduce the<br />
death tax exemption level to $1 million,<br />
could make passing a family<br />
farm of only a few hundred acres to<br />
the next generation economically<br />
impossible due to death tax liability.<br />
According to data collected by<br />
AFBF, when applying 20<strong>12</strong> farm<br />
real estate values, farms and<br />
ranches larger than 714 acres<br />
would likely exceed the $1 million<br />
exemption level. Crop producers<br />
would be particularly impacted by<br />
the lower exemption levels, as<br />
farms larger than 431 acres of cropland<br />
would be likely to exceed the<br />
$1 million exemption level.<br />
“This report outlines just how<br />
devastating the Senate Democrats’<br />
death tax proposal would be to<br />
South Dakota farmers and ranchers,”<br />
said Thune. “The value of<br />
cropland across South Dakota has<br />
increased by more than 23 percent<br />
over the last year. According to the<br />
data collected by AFBF from the<br />
United States Department of Agriculture’s<br />
National Agriculture Statistics<br />
Service, the appreciated<br />
value of cropland throughout the<br />
state means that nearly 71 percent<br />
of South Dakota farms would exceed<br />
the $1 million exemption level<br />
under the Senate Democrats’ proposal.<br />
Since many family farm and<br />
ranch assets consist of land, livestock,<br />
equipment, and small cash<br />
reserves, this punitive tax leaves<br />
the next generation with little<br />
choice but to sell family holdings to<br />
pay the death tax. In March of this<br />
year, I introduced the Death Tax<br />
Repeal Permanency Act which<br />
would permanently repeal the federal<br />
death tax and the generation<br />
skipping transfer tax. Repeal of this<br />
destructive tax is critical to keeping<br />
family farms and ranches intact<br />
across South Dakota.”<br />
“Today’s report shows that the<br />
outdated death tax would impact<br />
over half of South Dakota’s farms<br />
and ranches if it is allowed to revert<br />
to pre-2001 levels,” said Scott VanderWal,<br />
president of the South<br />
Dakota Farm Bureau. “The Senate<br />
should pass Senator Thune’s death<br />
tax repeal bill, or at the very least,<br />
extend current levels to protect<br />
South Dakota’s agriculture producers<br />
from this unfair tax.”<br />
On July 25, Senate Democrats<br />
passed legislation on a party line<br />
vote of 51 to 48 that would increase<br />
taxes on small businesses and families.<br />
Additionally, if enacted, this<br />
bill would return the current $5<br />
million death tax exemption to $1<br />
million next year, and would raise<br />
the tax rate from the current top<br />
rate of 35 percent to an exorbitant<br />
55 percent.<br />
Senator Thune’s legislation, the<br />
Death Tax Repeal Permanency Act,<br />
has 37 cosponsors and is supported<br />
by more than 50 groups and organizations.<br />
Representative Kevin<br />
Brady (R-TX) introduced identical<br />
legislation in the House of Representatives<br />
and the bill has more<br />
than 200 bipartisan cosponsors.<br />
