Before the election, many important topics were brought to the mayor’s attention. A rising crime rate in Sioux Falls, low wages, affordable housing and public transportation, impoverished children.

So now that the voters have spoken, and 56% of them approved of giving Huether 4 more years, what have been the top two news stories over the past 2 days involving the mayor’s office?

He had to have his first Listening and Learning session of 2014 in a precinct that didn’t support him to try to win over their favor and he wants his code enforcement office to crack down and do a better job of educating people about letting their dogs poop on city hall’s lawn.

“The lush grass outside the mayor’s window at Ninth and Dakota has become a major oasis for downtown dogs.”

Huether is also making his way to one of our Sister Cities, Potsdam, Germany (he says he is paying for the trip himself) Two words for you Mike ‘Beer Spa’. Just make sure no one posts the picture of you in one on Facebook.

So while real problems still exist in Sioux Falls that need to be resolved, our mayor is busy worrying about stupid shit, literally.

16 Thoughts on “Mayor Huether more concerned about popularity and dog poop then he is about real issues affecting our community

  1. His “disappointment” in not winning the area he had his “Listen to Me and Only Me” session was embarassing.

    Next time my service dog has to poop I’m hoping I’ll make it to city hall in time. I can never fill my recycle bin without a bunch of city citations.

    Ill bring ‘Hopi’ to city council meetings. The city needs a civil rights lawsuit or two.

    Found out why he told people he is paying for this trip himself, he doesn’t arrive in Potsdam until June 9th, but he leaves tomorrow, June 4th. First stop, Paris. Hmmmm, what’s going on this week in Paris, some kinda little tennis tournament, probably heard of it? The French Open. No biggee? Right? It is his money, he deserves vacations, he can go anywhere, don’t care. But then I also heard that ‘some’ of his expenses will be covered by the city while in Potsdam. Not sure what they are, but I’m glad our mayor can take in an international reknown tournament while representing us in Paris, uh, I mean Potsdam.

    When they capture Huether overseas, he’s not worth an exchange of 1 much less 5 Guantanamo prisoners.

    The major problem with the city’s transportation system is that instead of putting money into the transit system, especially Paratransit, his Honor prefers to put thousands and millions into fancy entertainment/recreational facilities.

    Ouch. That hurt !

    The fact that greater than 40% of the voters DID NOT vote for HisManMike(TM) in the last election really did leave a mark, didn’t it ?

    So our sister city names a streetcar after us, while we name a tennis court after huether and everything else after sanford. Potsdam prolly hasn’t had a dignitary of this magnitude since July of 1945.

    how come mmm won’t let the whole city go to Paris or Potsdam. I mean if he is hell bent on maybe leaving a legacy of a billion dollars in debt, half way there already, let’s all have a great time and rack up the credit card debt. MMM doesn’t seem to give a crap how it gets paid back. 4 crappy walmarts won’t cut it. Let’s all get First Premier cards, go to Potsdam, get drunk, max out the cards and not pay them back. Could you imagine 100,000 people in bank card default freaking out T Denny.

    Sounds like one of those responsible DT dog owners!

    Or, what about, all those animal lovers who use the football fields at the public schools and also the public parks for their dog droppings?

    Very helpful to children in PE classes or who are playing in the parks!!!!

    Maybe the crap outside his office is not dogs but the homeless. There’s more homeless downtown than dogs.

    Comments here are humorous, also true and sad. I like to remember the time of mayors before Munson. There were rich people who blended with the population. Even the poor had enough to eat and a place to live. Now, our mayor and insider billionaires jet around the world staying at 5 star hotels while we work several jobs and still can’t survive. We need a Robin Hood to steal milk from the C – store for our babies.

    There is a blogger out of Potsdam who prolly is not a lot unlike yourself l3wis. A blogger unafraid to speak truth to power. According to this blogger things in Potsdam are in some ways just like things are here in its sister city, SF. The needs of a few outweigh the needs of the many, and in mayor Jann Jakobs world it is my way or the highway. These two should have plenty to talk about at Potsdam Conference II. Maybe our man mike can shed some light for Jann on how to better market a fee harvesting scam like mmm did so well at first premier bank card.

  14. Dog poop is a nuisance if left unattended. Perhaps the Mayor should appoint someone else to tackle that battle while he tends to more pressing issues.

  15. I double dog dare you people to pull this number on Huethers 3 inches of Mayoral city hall lawn.
