## Resource

Mayor Jason Salamun joins Murdoc to discuss Rapid City’s upcoming budget, highlighting major investments in roads and infrastructure, a conservative spending plan, and how strong sales tax revenue is helping fund community priorities. They also provide a major update on the city's regional sports complex, including land donations, construction timelines, funding partnerships, and the long term economic impact expected around Mall Drive. The conversation also covers efforts to improve conditions at Star Village, new businesses coming to Rapid City like Natural Grocers and an Airstream dealership, a call for a future roller skating rink, and the mayor addresses rumors surrounding Flock cameras and privacy concerns in the city.
