PIERRE, S.D. (KELO.com) — South Dakota brags about having no state income tax…but some lawmakers say there may be one just around the corner.

State House Speaker Hugh Bartels of Watertown says a measure to repeal the sales tax on groceries that’s expected to be on the November ballot would remove taxes on a lot more than just groceries because of a change in the proposal’s language…

Bartels believes the language change was intentional, and could lead to a state income tax.
