Open Meetings Commission member, Brenner, loses in the SD Supreme Court

If Glenn Brenner’s name doesn’t sound familiar, it should. He is a member of the SD Open Meetings Commission;

Douglas Rumpca of Rapid City sued Pennington County State’s Attorney Glenn Brenner, saying Brenner stole the affections of his former wife, Kellie Rumpca.

Not only is he for open meetings, apparently he is for open marriages 🙂 To be honest with you, I think this law is silly. If your wife leaves you, that is her decision.

As for Brenner, it is important to note that he is the only member of the OMC to vote against the rest of the commission on the recent decision about the SF City Council in reference to the Debra Owen issue.

State of the City address

Subprime Mike will give his state of the city address tomorrow at Carnegie Hall, 1:30 PM sharp (when most people are working real jobs, and won’t hear it live).

Not sure what to expect. I do know that ‘behind the scenes’ there has been some interesting squabbles and posturing. This showed up last night with the Walmart vote.

This story on Stormland TV news is proof of just that;

“What I expect in the next two years is to see the mayor mature as a government leader,” Erpenbach said. “I expect him to begin to understand better that government works differently than a business.”

Wow! I think I would expect to see ‘maturity’ from both of you. When a constituent shows up to an informal meeting at the library and knows more then Michelle about the subject matter, one has to question her ‘maturity’. I will positively say this about Michelle though, she is very assertive, and way more knowledgeable then most of her peers, and the mayor on some accounts, but she is living in a glass house, and I heard the mayor has really big stones.

Is that a ‘Curb Belly’ I see? (H/T- Helga)

My SouthDaCola foot soldier from the west coast (former SF resident) checks in on the Phillips Avenue webcam from time to time to check out our weather. She sent me this screenshot tonight and was wondering what it was. I told her about the legendary ‘Curb Belly‘ and my guess it was them. The owner used to be a regular at a DT restaurant I used to work at, and his cohort was the chef there, very talented. I suggest you check them out. They make gourmet food truck eats.
