Associated School Boards of SD • SD Association of County Commissioners • SD Association of County Officials • Large School Group • SD Municipal League January 21, 2016 Mr. Jeff Holden Commissioner, Bureau of Administration 500 East Capitol Pierre, SD 57501-1234 Dear Commissioner Holden: Please consider this letter, as well as any possible presentations at the January 29, 2016 Rules Hearing as the response of the South Dakota Municipal League, the South Dakota Association of County Commissioners, the SD Association of County Officials, the Associated School Boards of SD, and the Large School Group to the proposed rules numbered §§10:02:02:01 and §§ 10:02:02:02. In short, we object to increasing the costs to taxpayers for state-mandated publications. Counties, municipalities, and schools have long argued that the use of more efficient technology offers local entities better methods to fully inform their citizens, while at the same time saving tax payer money. Those methods include use of websites and e-mailed notices directly to citizens.
