HUMBOLDT, SD (KELO.com) — Regional elected officials are hoping to have an impact on the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill”. They’ve signed a letter on its way to congress to fight the 45-Q tax credit. That credit is the financial engine that would make Carbon Capture pipelines profitable. State Senator Joy Hohn of Minnehaha County says the tax credit needs to go.
Nearly 100 elected officials and party leaders from Indiana, Iowa, the Dakotas and Montana have signed the letter asking their congressional delegations to strip the 45Q tax credit from the reconciliation bill. Congressman Dusty Johnson voted for the bill which included the credit. Senators Rounds and Thune haven’t made a statement on whether they will seek to remove it from the bill in the Senate.
