Governor Noem’s Office Faces Scrutiny Over Credit Card Expenditures and Staff Changes
Sioux Falls, SD – Governor Kristi Noem’s administration is under increased scrutiny following reports of substantial credit card expenditures and notable staff changes.
Investigations by The Dakota Scout revealed that over six years, Noem and her staff charged approximately $750,000 to state-issued credit cards, covering expenses such as airline tickets, hotels, rental cars, and meals. In response, Noem’s legal team issued a cease-and-desist letter, claiming that only about $2,000 of these charges were personally made by the governor. They demanded corrections to what they termed "false, misleading, and inaccurate statements." (thedakotascout.com)
In addition to financial scrutiny, Noem’s office has experienced significant turnover. The position of chief of staff has remained vacant for over a year, with Darin Seeley appointed as chief of operations without the official title. Former press secretary Amelia Joy departed for a position at the America First Policy Institute in Washington, D.C. These departures have raised questions about the stability and direction of Noem’s administration. (listen.sdpb.org)
Furthermore, a political action committee (PAC) with ties to Noem has been linked to paid advertisements targeting The Dakota Scout. This development has intensified discussions about the relationship between the governor’s office and media outlets, highlighting concerns over transparency and accountability. (kbhbradio.com)
