I can’t imagine that a kid who would be in a video like this (below) would pretend to go up in a giant balloon. What a pussy.
Imagine that, the ‘Balloon Kid’ was playing a prank

I tried Parker’s restaurant again tonight
October 15th, 2009 — Food
The one theme I am noticing is Cajun spices. And we were told by our gracious host, Adam, that is because the chef likes cooking creole or he is from New Orleans, I can’t remember. Either way, it is tasty. I tried the Lamb sausage (a little on the dry side, but the sauce that looked like baby poop was tasty). And I also had a bowl of the terrific sausage gumbo, made perfectly.
Keep it up.
City of Sioux Falls plans to start on arterial street projects in 2010 even though developers haven’t held up their end of the bargain
October 15th, 2009 — Developers, Road Funding, Sioux Falls
Just another boondoggle in the making.
I noticed that Item #25 of the city council meeting was a resolution approving the arterial street development schedule for 2010.
|
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE PRIORITY ORDER OF PROJECTS TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN 2010 UTILIZING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM’S ARTERIAL STREET EXPANSION (DEVELOPMENT DRIVEN STREET) PROJECTS. I find this quite sad and comical considering that we were told when our taxes were increased to pay for these roads that developers would be putting in 50%. Kind of wonder where that 50% will be coming from considering as of August the financial numbers were (page 2);
But even if you want to get technical, if you want to take the ‘Total’ of the entire second penny, it does not get much better;
The crux of all this, according to councilor Costello, is that we are $137 million dollars behind on road maintenance in Sioux Falls. Why would we be building NEW streets for developers (who are not ponying up their share) instead of fixing what we have first? Once the developers put in their 50% and we are caught up reasonably on maintenance, then let’s talk building roads outside of Tea, SD. Once again, the public was lied to, and we will end up picking up the tab for the special interests. Pathetic. |
