Resorts, Parking, and Netflix: Governor Noem’s Spending in Final Months

Former South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem faced scrutiny for nearly $30,000 in expenses charged to state credit cards during her final weeks in office as she prepared to join President Donald Trump’s cabinet in Washington, D.C. The Dakota Scout reviewed her credit card records, revealing these expenses which were covered by South Dakota taxpayers.

This information was obtained through a settlement between The Dakota Scout and the South Dakota Auditor’s Office after Noem’s appointment as U.S. Homeland Security secretary in late January. This spending spree included charges for resorts, parking, and even Netflix subscriptions.

It raises questions about the use of taxpayer funds as Noem made her transition to a new role. Stay informed by subscribing to The Dakota Scout for more updates and in-depth coverage on this developing story.
