I was in front of the County Administration office after work yesterday garnering petition signatures for the Sales Tax Decrease initiative and was surprised by how many people I could get to sign it. We got at least 90% of registered Sioux Falls voters that we approached to sign it. Only two people were vocal about not signing the petition. One of them called it ‘Stupid’. Which is always a ‘Stupid’ argument. We have only been doing the petition drive for 2 weeks and we already have good numbers. I have a feeling we will have no problem making the Spring School Board election with the initiative. And, BTW, if you are against the initiative and you see me, tell me why – don’t just say it is STUPID. Lower taxes on food and utilities is NEVER stupid.
