He’s gonna need all the brain power he can muster;
Sioux Falls Mayor Dave Munson must testify in an ongoing lawsuit over red-light cameras that catch drivers in the downtown area.
“Uh, yeah, red means stop, green means go, and yellow means, uh, well, uh, does the light even turn yellow?”
I’m so jealous of this guy!

Now I know how John Stewart feels. I also, am apparently a member of the South Dakota Democratic Party, even though I am a registered Indy. I guess the Dems will take anyone these days!
The executive director of the South Dakota Democratic Party, Rick Hauffe, stated in the article that the state’s Democratic Party didn’t sponsor the protest. However, according to the Web site SouthDaCola.com, on March 20, “Therefore the SDDP is holding a rally (tomorrow) at 2 p.m. outside of the Chamber of Commerce. We need people from all walks of life to attend …” Perhaps the Argus Leader didn’t see that statement when it was fact checking while writing the article.
Um, I don’t think the Argus comes to my site to find ‘facts’. Gawd I hope not. BTW, I posted the protest announcement because it was emailed to me, and the fact that I think John Thune is pathetic back-stabbing liar.
Their protests ring hollow in the face of all the hardworking folks doing the right things, sacrificing their fortunes to start a business and, hopefully, run it profitably. Are the Democrats cutting off the hand that feeds them?
Last I checked most Democrats are hardworking, middle-class Americans not greedy rich Republican business owners. If the Democrats get the Employee Free Choice Act to pass, they will be doing the work of their constituents for once, not as you are suggesting.
Tonight’s informational meeting for the Sioux Falls city council could get a little ‘dicey’ to say the least. The audit that councilor Staggers asked for last summer has finally came out, and the results are astonishing. City Hall has done it’s best to stall the audit, saying Staggers’ request had political motives and what good would it be to know those amounts. As you can see below, there is a reason City Hall has been delaying the audit.
Â
Consulting fees jumped almost a 100% in two years and the most shocking is professional services jumped from $16 million to $34 million in 3 years. This is appalling on two fronts. First off the city should be spending less, not more, especially in this economy and I don’t care how out of control inflation may be, there is no excuse whatsoever for a $16 million dollar jump over a three year period. It is pretty obvious that there is a lot of hogs at the trough of city hall and Munson has the feeding pail. I hope Staggers takes them to task tonight over the out of control spending, we’ll see if Northside Davey has the gonads to show up to the meeting tonight.
