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

An AP analysis finds that South Dakota taxpayers subsidized Gov. Kristi Noem ’s cross-country campaigning to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The spending “offends a lot of people,” said a former Republican South Dakota governor.
A spokesman for Noem declined to answer detailed questions about the expenses but did not dispute that some of the travel lacked apparent connection to state business.
Only 30 items totaling $ 2,056.72 were charged on the governor’s state-issued Mastercard .
Some expenses seemingly had no link to state business, such as $ 21 hotel-room movie purchases.
The state also ran up more than $3,300 in late fees and interest.
