And then the local MSM chimes in;
The shadow of secrecy continues to creep and the council’s action in the Stehly incident is just the latest worst example.
City Attorney David Pfeifle has refused to answer questions at to the legal justification of this secret session. This is unacceptable. Pfeifle is a public official and as such answerable to the people, which in this case is Argus Leader Media.
There is no place in a free society for the secrecy and subterfuge currently engaged in Sioux Falls city government.
It must stop.
First off, thank you Pat for writing this column, though I don’t agree with your digs at Theresa (surprised he wasn’t able to work in some Staggers digs in to). As I have said, this kind of bullying and intimidation has been going on for a long time. Kermit comes to mind, and ironically the AL has chimed in encouraging the bullying against him. Funny how these things work.
