You would think the city’s chief information officer, TJ TypeOver (Nelson) would have better things to do with his time then go on FB and mock people who are commenting about the storm cleanup. Crazy that TJ has time to comment in between all his volunteering and cleaning up the city. Maybe you should concentrate on giving CLEAR information and reading dictionaries.

BTW, TJ, you really SHOULD be wearing a baseball cap, because that Trump-Like thing you got going on isn’t working for you.

10 Thoughts on “Why is the City of Sioux Falls Deputy Chief of Staff to the Mayor mocking people on Facebook?

  1. Blasphemo on September 14, 2019 at 9:30 pm said:

    THIS, is from the Deputy Chief of Staff on the municipal payroll at WHAT fat salary + benefits package…a person allegedly having achieved an Augustana diploma AND also claims “Harvard Man” 2018-2019 status? I think if even the Trumpster caught wind of this juvenile stunt he’d immediately spout “YOU’RE FIRED”. Jesus, Mary, Joseph & All The Saints. There needs to be some serious bitch-slapping of punks at City Hall.

  2. Ten Haken: T.J. either needs to resign or be fired for this one! on September 14, 2019 at 11:46 pm said:

    T.J. needs to resign over this one. That is the most unprofessional and arrogant display of attitude that I have ever seen done by a city official.

    And then you read these posts by Erickson and Nietzert on that FB page, then you have to wonder how they ever got elected. They act like a couple of teenage girls fighting with other teenage girls in a middle school hallway.

    If these city officials are so proud and confident of the citys efforts on this storm, then they should be above the fray and not lower themselves to this street fight level of public discourse. Have Erickson and Niezert asked Ten Haken to ask the Gov for a FEMA declaration concerning this storm, yet? That’s their real job and not to play attack dog on social media.

  3. RS5 Bounce on September 15, 2019 at 7:36 am said:

    The RS5 are arrogant and feel privileged to do all they want. TJ is the behind the scenes Karl Rove wannabe encouraging the disgusting behaviors being shown by the RS5 and their chosen candidates. PTH is mentally powerless to stop them.

  4. $85,550.40 on September 15, 2019 at 11:14 am said:

    This kind of public response from a city employee at any level, let alone one who is paid a salary of $85,500.40 is unacceptable.

    Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incidence for TJ Nelson, it is a pattern.

    Paul Ten Haken, as Deputy Chief of Staff, he acts as your voice. Taxpayers/Voters are watching to see how you handle this!

    “Transparency starts with communication,” TenHaken said in a statement announcing Nelson’s appointment. “This is an important role to ensure trust between the mayor’s office and the public, City Council and media. I’m thrilled to have T.J. bring his talents and experience with me to City Hall.”

    “I look forward to serving the city and communicating all of the great things Sioux Falls is doing for its residents and visitors,” Nelson said.

  6. PTH, I cannot wait until you are voted out of office. Take your cronies and let grown up runs this place for awhile.

  7. Dear Mayor, T.J. as earned the pink slip. on September 15, 2019 at 2:34 pm said:

    “TJ is the behind the scenes Karl Rove wannabe….”

    With all due respect, you are being too kind. He’s more like a Donald Segretti, Howard Hunt, or a G. Gordon Liddy.

    ( – and Woodstock ponders: “And to think, we use to just call him “NixonHaken” in jest…. Not so much now, huh?”)

  8. The Guy From Guernsey on September 16, 2019 at 10:47 am said:

    Unprofessional. Totally unacceptable.

  9. I’ve had enough of this childish facebook shit. It’s just immature bullying.

  10. This is from the deputy director of municipal payroll staff in the salary + benefits package … Anyone who allegedly obtained the Augusta certificate and also claims the 2018-2019 ‘Harvard Man’ case? I think that even if Trumpster is caught by the wind of these anomalies, he will immediately “shoot.” Jesus, Mary, Joseph and all the saints. There must be some serious tricks for the bad guys at City Hall.
