Mike ‘Events Center’ Huether
Word on the street is that Mike has been telling anyone who will listen that he will get the EC built without raising taxes, of course, as most politicians, he is short on details, BUT it is possible.
• You can have corporate sponsors pay for 33-50% of it.
• The bonds on the Pavilion and Convention center run out in a couple of years and you can convert that revenue over to paying down a bond on the new EC.
It’s tricky, but possible. I’m just wondering when Mike is gonna reveal his plan to the public? It is pretty obvious that the retail tax increase is going to fail, and fail hard. I have yet to talk to a legislator, journalist or citizen that supports the idea. Will Mike wait until Pierre takes a shit on it before he reveals his plans? Or will he wait for T. Denny Sanford to cut him a check? One wonders.
