(KOTA) - Senate Bill 6, providing millions of dollars to a West River development authority, has been amended with a new focus on the Douglas School District.Many bills have been discussed during the 100th South Dakota legislative session, and sometimes amendments come with those bills.SB 6 was first introduced in the Senate on Jan. 14 and would move $15 million from the general fund to the South Dakota Ellsworth Development Authority for grants to support projects involved with the Ellsworth Air Force Base expansion.The bill would allow a loan from the state housing infrastructure fund to totaling $15 million to Douglas schools with no interest.Senator Helene Duhamel, who introduced the bill, said it’s not what was expected.“It’s not perfect, it’s not what we were hoping for, but it is a way to help with the school,” Duhamel said. “We hope next week that it will be announced that the federal government will give $42 million for that project. So, we’re getting one project off the ground.”Duhamel said she will keep fighting to get more money for the Ellsworth Development Authority to answer all the needs that come with the base and expansions.See a spelling or grammatical error in our story?
