A GOP state lawmaker says he is considering resigning after a disagreement with a party leader.
State Representative Lee Schoenbeck was barred from the Republican Party caucus this week.
Schoenbeck had been critical on social media of some in the GOP for failing to support the half penny sales tax to boost teacher pay in the state. That measure passed by one vote.
Some sources reported Schoenbeck planned to resign on Wednesday.
But in an e-mail this afternoon to SDPB News Schoenbeck says he is torn over the issue of resigning. He says he plans to talk with his family this weekend before making a final decision.
