PIERRE, S.D. (AP) _ The South Dakota House defeated a bill to
give townships a slice of the wind energy tax that now goes to
counties for wind farms located within their borders.
Rep. Steve Street, D-Revillo, said townships should get some of
the money to take care of their roads that might be damaged during
the construction process or used later to get to the wind farm. He
proposed dividing the tax revenue based on the ratio of township
roads to county roads.
The bill was approved by the Senate but failed in the House by a
single vote and then by an even wider margin on reconsideration.
