Kristi Noem refused to say who financed some of her travel. It was taxpayers who were on the hook

Summary

An AP investigation found South Dakota taxpayers covered over $150,000 in travel expenses tied to former Gov. Kristi Noem’s political and personal trips, including a Paris speech, bear hunt, dental visit, and campaign stops for Trump.

In total, state funds covered $640,000 in travel during her six-year term.

The revelations, forced by a lawsuit, angered Republicans in a state known for frugality.
