This would have never happened if Kermit was still on the council, but remember this guy? He showed up again last night, and wondered why he had not ‘Heard a peep’ about his public testimony?
I have my assumptions, but I will hold my breath on this one. Can’t wait to see how this plays out.
And as usual, he could not give a straight answer (It starts at about 1:03).
Actually, Greg asked the question several times, in different forms,
“Who will be deciding the site location? (paraphrasing)”
and Huether never once answered the question. While this is frustrating, it proves my point that Mike is a con. He is going to decide the location. Period. Greg even asked if the council would get to vote on the recommendation, and Mike could not answer that question either.
Someone needs to put this guy up against the wall. Seriously. Enough fiddle-faddle.
Rep. Hal Wick (District 12): a co-sponsor of HB 1237, mandating that all South Dakotans be required to own a gun.
Sen. Deb Peters (District 9): a ridiculous vendetta against small schools
Rep. Brian Liss (District 13): “taxing food prevents obesity”
Rep. Manny Steele (District 12): main sponsor of Arizona-style immigration legislation
Rep. Jenna Haggar (District 15): “Only Sen. Phyllis Heineman, R-Sioux Falls, and Rep. Jenna Haggar, I-Sioux Falls, aligned with Tornow, and Heineman simply said that a $127 million structural deficit was not sustainable and that eliminating it would require “tough sacrifice from everybody.” Haggar said only that legislators must focus on the future of schools and not a one-year budget problem. – Huh?
Rep. Lora Hubbel (District 11): “The voters don’t care about the same things (the local media) care about…. They don’t care about school budgets.”
Rep. Steve Hickey (District 9) and Rep. Roger Hunt (District 10) co-sponsor a bill outlawing surrogacy in South Dakota.

Best hypocritical, bullshit quote of the day comes from a SD Republican lawmaker (Imagine that?):
But, Gray and other lawmakers don’t think the free food has much of an influence.
“I would tell you first and foremost all the legislators swear an oath that they will not accept anything of value for a vote. I don’t know that anybody up here is beholden to any lobbyist or any interest group. Frankly, if they were I think by now we wouldn’t have passed a smoking ban, we wouldn’t have changed our liquor laws, we probably would have given cities the opportunity to tax further,” Gray said.
So legislators are smart enough to not be influenced by a rib meal but voters are not smart enough to be influenced by a bowl of chili? Typical of a SD Lawmaker, ‘I am smarter than the average bear‘ mantra. Give me a break. It is pretty clear our state legislature are the bitches of corporate interests. If they were not, we would have a better education system, a fair tax system and higher wages. But guess what – we don’t.
