SDGOP fringe group protesting Rapid City rate increase

Rapid City is raising water and sewer rates except for Republicans whose properties are worth less than $188,240.34.

A fringe group with ties to the extreme wrong wing of the South Dakota Republican Party has turned in over 2,800 signatures in opposition to the proposed rate increase.

So-called 'Citizens for Liberty' could field third party or indie candidates for statewide offices. They gave the now-dead Craig Tieszen a 'D' on their Second Amendment scorecard.
