Mayor Huether’s ‘Mysterious’ Capital Improvement Proposal

As you can see the agenda for today’s informational meeting has been posted since Friday, but the coinciding documents in SIRE are a mystery. No surprise, ever since Mayor Huether has been doing the Capital Presentation he has kept it a secret until a few minutes before the meeting starts to not only the public, but to the city council (they still haven’t received it). As usual, he says he has great transparency with the city council, but can’t even let them see his proposal, even for a couple of hours before the meeting.

Mike can claim transparency and communication all he wants, but his claims areÂ more suited for fertilizer in a farm field then in the chambers of a public building.

Been enjoying all the hoopla over the renaming of Harney Peak (I support it by the way) But you gotta love this opponent’s note. My friend Kristi has this saying I often use when I see stuff like this from my fellow human beings, “I wonder how some people get through life?”

The Billboard Committee met again today at City Hall in the old commission chambers, THIS time they decided to have open discussion BEFORE adjournment. After Steve Young with the Argus does a story about last meetings’ open discussion being video taped after adjournment and the possible violation of open meetings laws (which city officials denied), they decide this time around discussion will occur during the official meeting (but hey, they didn’t do anything wrong last time) just correcting something that wasn’t broken.

Funny.

So I read this yesterday. Joel makes some great points. Some are spot on. Some are way off. But I will have to admit, one of the best blog posts from a SD blogger I have read in a long time about the 2018 race.

What do you think about the speculation?

Mysterious Parking Ticket rampage at Gay Pride Festival?

I have been hearing from several folks that the SFPD street patrol division was out in full force Saturday at the Gay Pride Festival, ticketing cars parking around Terrace Park, mostly for parking to close to the intersection. One person told me he even questioned the ticket of the officer (who claimed he was parked less then 20 feet from the intersection), after the officer left a neighbor came out and measured, their car was parked 25 feet from the intersection.

So why the flurry of tickets at a festival that got a lot of publicity before the event on Saturday? Dare I say there was some veiled discrimination going on by the officers? How convenient to show up to a very popular event (The Mayor even spoke at it) and hand out parking tickets knowing many people will be in violation because there really isn’t any place to park around Terrace Park except on the street.

I often scratch my head when city officials say they need more officers, but all they have better to do on a Saturday afternoon is hand out parking tickets. Nice way to show the police force’s diversity tolerance by handing out tickets at a Pride Festival. Everything has a cost it seems in Sioux Falls anymore.
