You can have your opinions about Trump, but this was an amazing conversation, I learned a lot (not from him).
One of the comments that stood out was one of the victim’s brother said we need to have and open conversation and bring everything to the table and all ideas even the controversial ones, because that is how we will come up with solutions.
I would have to agree, our First Amendment may be the solution to fixing our Second Amendment to the Constitution.
So this is interesting, apparently the optics were getting out of control;
We have learned from Legacy Development that it no longer employs Aaron Hultgren. Legacy Development tells us that Hultgren has chosen to pursue other opportunities.
That of course doesn’t mean he still isn’t an investor with the group, but I guess we will never know.
During the informational councilor Rex Rolfing didn’t realize that the SFFD is not allowed to use ALS (Advanced Life Support) only BLS (Basic Life Support) on medical calls. It was part of the contract negotiation with Paramedics Plus. The sad part about this is that Rolfing was one of the councilors who approved the contract with PP. Obviously he didn’t read the contract before approving it.
During the council meeting, once again Rolfing couldn’t resist to tell us how little he knows, even after almost 8 years of doing his job. He didn’t want the council to get emails about potential lawsuits filed against the city. He said that certain councilors are ignoring the confidential disclaimer on emails and passing information along to the press and public. First off, these lawsuits are public record, and secondly, the public owns email transmissions between city employees and councilors. He wouldn’t know transparency if it hit him like a baseball bat.
I also reminded the council that Finance Director Tracy Turbak was full of it when he claimed the End of the Year finance reports come out the same time each year.
The Sioux Falls Democratic Forum’s regular Friday get together at the Sioux Falls VFW brought in District 15 Sen. Reynold Nesiba and Rep Jamie Smith. The February 16, 2018 talk brought the appreciative crowd up to date on the events in Pierre this legislative session.
Conservative editorial cartoonists often make me cringe. I mean, how many cartoons can you do of Stace Nelson or Lora Hubbel? Talk about picking the lowest fruit on the tree?
At least even FolkArts figured out when he couldn’t write anything funny he just copied Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonists.
