Which seems like a cock fight between attorneys, the hearing on Monday outta be entertaining;
Second Circuit Court Judge John Pekas is scheduled to hear the case at 1:30 p.m. Monday in the Minnehaha County Courthouse.
No matter where you stand on the law or legal language of these statutes, it all seems irrelevant to me. Any document or settlement produced using tax payer money should be made public. It’s not like we are protecting the integrity of a man who shot himself with a 5-foot branch and a rifle in a grove of rural trees, this is about siding that was poorly installed on a building. Who are we protecting?
I also find it even more ironic we are spending MORE tax dollars on private attorneys to keep something a secret. Screw who won the spelling bee here, that should be a red flag enough to tell us something truly needs to be hidden.
Missusing English would be the city attorney’s election language. We wanted an outdoor pool unrepaired and got a 30 million dollar aquarium for rich kids.
When Huether took office there was a city attorney, assistant attorney, and one legal aid. Now, there’s 9 attorneys and a staff of 20. Yet they still need private law firm contractors. The best way to spot someone guilty as hell is when their lawyers outnumber everyone in the court room.
I didn’t realize there were that many Attorney’s working for the City of Sioux Falls. I wonder what they all do and at what cost to the public? I don’t think the population has increased that dramatically since Miracle Mike took office.
