Resignations or bootsignations?

I heard from a reliable source tonight that both Tom Bennett (director of the SD Symphony) and Gary Wood (CEO of the Pavilion) were actually fired by their boards for economic reasons. Leave it to the mostly Republican boards to fire their directors over a problem caused by their savior, GW Dush.
I’m wondering if anyone else can confirm those rumors? Mainly Tom and Gary. I will give you exclusive interviews on South DaCola. Don’t be shy, I only bite in my sleep.
I also got a chuckle tonight when I was telling someone else at a popular restaurant downtown that the Pavilion has never been profitable, considering they get a subsidy from the city each year, and some girl in another booth gave me a dirty look.
Mind your own f’ing business and stop listening to other people’s conversations. The eye rolling and head shaking does not phase me, I actually think it was kind of cute.

Why don’t they hire themselves some of that Wall Street talent that got cruelly let go last year…

They did better, they put a former executive of a dying telecommunications company in charge!

Hey, if the boards are republicans we KNOW they can’t balance a budget; look at the Bush administration, Rounds, city of Sioux Falls, etc. And these fools want to “manage” government like a business. Good grief.

The “manage government like a business” people make me laugh.

Yes, because you should be able to make a profit from things like roads, the PD and FD and parks.
