If that is the case, Pitty and I agree on something. It seems he is coming in early and hard on MMM before he even announces what he is running for;

What has Huether’s tenure been characterized by? Empire building, ego, and pontification.

Since early on, Huether ram-rodded through building projects, which often had the community sharply divided; The Denny Sanford Arena, a new indoor pool, and most recently, a new city administration building.  But alongside that, we’ve been constantly reminded of Huether’s massive and unabated egomania through such things as his top ten lists, as well as his infamous municipal ad campaign and billboards featuring.. himself.

It’s no secret Pitty is in Dusty’s corner and helping him out with the campaign. What I find kind of humorous is that if Mike’s thin skinned over a blog that is locally written about city government, wait until he has Pitty’s statewide blog dumping on him, day after day, he may quickly forget who Cameraman Bruce and Detroit Lewis are. I may be a little mean, but Pitty can get pretty vicious (he is a Republican after all).

Bruce says it best when it comes to MMM;

Pat, thank you for this. In the years we have worked to strengthen accountability in Sioux Falls we have run into roadblocks everywhere we turn. The city of Sioux Falls under Mike Huether has organized policies to limit more and more of our access to real or correct information. We fight for open government in Sioux Falls because the effort toward open government has to start somewhere. Mike Huether proved recently how little disregard he has for transparency when he vetoed public access to already recorded audio of the Park & Recreation Board meetings.
We started asking for real certified audits of construction programs because we found problems in methods and materials used on the construction of the event center. Mike Huether has told many versions of stories to justify what he and his administration has done, most not based on any version of acceptable facts.
Mike Huether and his Finance Director Tracy Turbak consistently tell us positive event center impact stories. They tell us the EC is pumping money into the community when in fact it has likely caused a negative impact exceeding $50,000,000 or more. The city will not allow us to see real numbers only their pasteurized and homogenized versions.
The crime rate issues we have here are the result of Huether’s boom town mentality where his special people have been isolated from the problems. The mayor recently realized we might have an issue then complained about crime issues when his neighbor’s garage was broken into. All of a sudden there is crime.
We have years of videos and stories freely available to the public to see what we have had to put up with. We freely share the stories to help you and your readers find out how a Huether government works. We do not trust him to even be standing next to us. I carry cameras when I am in his presence and then post the video on YouTube at www.siouxfall.org.
Several of us have believed the real crime issues started after the 2010 vote. This is why we speak and organize. This is why there are many in city hall who fear us. Just think about it, if you have been arrested, physically assaulted, verbally threatened by this administration and are still standing, what is there to fear by speaking the truth to power?

6 Thoughts on “Is Pitty expecting a US Congressional run out of Huether?

    What Bruce said. Read it everyone. As a veteran, I recognize it’s time to fight against government before we consider forcing our oligarchy on the rest of the world. Because of the Huether administration, I regret having served under fire in a combat zone. The mayor nor anyone on the council served this country in uniform. Speaks for itself.

  2. Strange that I should look forward to any blogging from PP. But yes, if he wants to turn his fire on Huether to protect his sponsor Dusty, then bring it on!

    I really look forward to what I read on blogs like this one. Same for blogs like Dakota Free Press, and Jennifer’s Musings. I do not read pat powers, or the belfrage blog because I simply find no common ground with their beliefs. Blogs are important and meaningful to those who need more than the Argus Leader, tv news, or hate radio gives us. The Argus is getting much better, the others, not so much. But let’s face it. Blogs play a very minor role in comparison to the others mentioned. As long as huether can call all the media outlets, and those same outlets show up with cameras rolling because mike changes his voter registration, then mmm will always have a chance. As long as the Argus spells his name right on the front page, and the others pronounce his name right on their 6 o’clock lead in, guys like huether will always have a chance. Need proof positive? Look at what is leading our country.
