Rhoden is overriding local control and spreading fear in communities (again). First, it was Sioux Falls. Now he's bringing Operation Prairie "Blunder" to Brookings.
South Dakotans won't stand for this.

Governor Rhoden, 75,000 South Dakotans going hungry sounds like a "rainy day" to us, and more than enough reason to reach into South Dakota's rainy day fund.
Do what the people pay you for: serve them, and keep South Dakotans fed.

TRUTH: By law, undocumented immigrants CANNOT get Medicare, Medicaid, or healthcare tax credits.
Republicans would rather lie than admit that they don’t care if you can afford healthcare.
