(FF Video to 1:10 to see Kiley’s new found power)
I wondered how long it would take for Rick Kiley to get back to his old bossy self after not having a challenger in the upcoming election. I guess only 4 days. He decided to lay into councilor Stehly for, get this, asking questions. He pulled some rule from his rear that there was a 3 question rule. Then when Stehly asked him where the rule was written down, he said it was ‘tradition’. After she asked for point of order about the 4th time, I was waiting for him to pull out the Magic 8-Ball in defense of his traditional ‘rules’.
He claimed that since they had a 5:30 meeting with the Minnehaha County Commission there wasn’t time for questions.
Yeah, isn’t that interesting. First off, normally joint county meetings are scheduled at 6 PM, for some ‘strange’ reason, this one was scheduled 30 minutes earlier on the same day there was multiple items on the informational agenda including an end of the year financial report that was drug out like a caveman’s wife. Turbak has pulled this maneuver several times, when he knows there is a timeline he will drag his presentation as long as he can to eliminate questions. You are soooo sly Tracy.
If I was Stehly I would have said that the county commission can wait until we are done with our meeting, besides, the joint meeting I think lasted less than 5 minutes.
You just watch Kiley and his teammate Huether over the next 2 months and the games they will play.
