During the final weeks of Kristi Noem’s term as Governor of South Dakota, nearly $30k was charged to state credit cards. Noem, who is now the Secretary of Homeland Security under President-elect Donald Trump, spent this money on various expenses, including a stay at a luxurious resort and Netflix subscriptions.

Details emerged about these charges, shedding light on Noem’s expenses as she transitioned out of her role as governor. The spending included over $20,000 at a Florida resort, which raised eyebrows among the public. Additionally, Noem’s office used state credit cards to cover costs for subscription services like Netflix, totaling about $127.

These expenses caught the attention of many South Dakota residents, prompting questions about the necessity and appropriateness of these charges. As Noem continues her political career in Washington, these spending habits have come under scrutiny, with critics questioning the use of taxpayer dollars for personal expenses.

While these expenses may not raise legal concerns, they have certainly garnered attention and sparked discussions about the responsibility and accountability of public officials. As Noem transitions to her new role, the scrutiny of her financial decisions during her tenure as governor will likely continue to be a topic of interest for South Dakotans and beyond.
