South Dakota issuing State of Emergency to Block Anti-Corruption Law.

It looks as though South Dakota legislators are trying to use a state of emergency to block it's new anti-corruption laws from being enacted. The bill known as initiative 22 won in the state ballot with a 51% vote. The initiative 22 known as the anti-corruption law is said by many to be the most comprehensive anti-corruption law to be passed in the United States. The law is supposed to limit the amount of money that political office holders can receive and requires the amount given to be disclosed. Currently while it was passed in the state, the legislatures are issuing a state of emergency to try and get rid of the law and make it so it can't be repealed, which in my belief is entirely unconstitutional.



The law seems to have support with democrats in the state however the vote was completely partisan with almost zero support from Republicans. The Republicans are trying to say that South Dakotan's were tricked by scam artists. In reality however South Dakotan's are working hard to try and get corruption out of their state, something that we should be trying to do nationwide.
