RIP BOB
Bob and my late dog Sodapop were the topic of this cartoon series. My heart goes out to my number one foot soldier and his GF on the passing of Bob. He passed away this past Monday at the old age of 20, fancy to the end. We will miss you Bob!
The guy who said I wasn’t media suddenly is media
I like how Bowlcut is prepping himself for a run against Captain Converse by not wearing a tie. While I have been hard on him as the mayor, he actually did a pretty good job as a TV show host . . . it actually shows that people with NO media background can actually tell a story. Go figure.
Suddenly the Sioux Falls city council funding the State Theater is 4th on their priority list
The council had a working session a few weeks ago to talk about their ‘budget priorities’. As I mentioned then, two councilors didn’t even bother showing up (Kiley and Soehl) and Council Chair Erickson said she was ‘working with the mayor’s office’ and Selberg said ‘he was just listening’. During the discussion I didn’t hear anyone mention the State Theater (maybe Brekke). If you go to the informational meeting page today you will see a link to the council discussion. About 30 minutes ago I clicked on the link and a PDF showed up with the council rating budget priorities but from what I remember road repair ranked #1 and the State Theater ranked #4 on priorities.

How in the heck did the State Theatre get on this ranking? I haven’t heard a peep out of the council about the State Theater.
As I mentioned before the flood occurred, there was a rumor going around that the Mayor was negotiating a sponsorship between a big donor and the city for the State Theatre.
Did someone on the council ‘slip’ this into the priority list? Weird stuff. It will be interesting to hear the discussion at 4 PM.
