First off, I would like to say that I appreciated Mayor Huether coming to say hi to me at Jazzfest. Not sure if he reads my blog, or you have Lil’ Darrin read it for you, but I haven’t been very nice to you for a long time. I will clarify something I have said all along though, I have nothing personal against politicians, or Mike for that matter, I just disagree with Mike’s policies, and I have a weird way of showing my discontent.
But let’s move on. I was a little shocked that an Gargoyle Leader reporter said this;
Imagine, Huether said, what could get done if there were “two of me.”
It’s the kind of broad, bold statement that can be read several ways. Is it an admission of hubris? Or a declaration of devotion to the job and public service?
While the story was informative to people who haven’t been following His Man Mike, it was mostly old news to me, until Mike pretty much slams Munson, and as usual, Davey Northside is oblivious;
According to Huether, he has been more transparent, more accountable, more communicative, applied more scrutiny and taken things “to a higher level” than previous administrations.
His predecessor, Dave Munson, isn’t sure what Huether means.
“What are we taking to a higher level?” Munson said. “I guess I would have to go back and see what happened in the last eight years that Sioux Falls didn’t move forward.”
Hey, Dave, he was talking about ‘communication’ and ‘secrecy’ NOT development. And BTW, since you bring it up, what’s going on with Phillips to the Falls these days besides an ugly plaque and goose shit?
Improving the system should also include a thorough review of the various codes to see if they’re necessary. At times, the city sends its people mixed messages. The city wants us to conserve water. But there’s an ordinance that requires 90 percent of your front yard to be covered with “living ground cover.” That’s grass, which needs lots of water.
I love contradictions.
