Now they are going after Stehly over a in-kind donation of less than $30;
Stehly, though, told the Argus Leader Monday that her 2016 campaign website was renewed on her behalf by Sioux Falls resident and political ally Bruce Danielson. She said she would file an amendment to her campaign disclosure report showing an in-kind contribution of $29.98, the price Danielson paid on Feb. 11.
But she has no intention of listing those other expenses because they weren’t related to her campaign, she said.
First off Theresa was made aware of this donation by the Argus employee and intends to file an amendment to her campaign finance report (which isn’t officially due until March 4).
As for the other expenses, anyone with common sense knows that 1) Stehly paid for those out of her own pocket and 2) they were public information mailings, etc. None of it was campaign materials. You don’t have to believe me. Read any of it, and no where in those materials does she mention to vote for her in the upcoming election or NOT to vote for her opponent. Even a dead person knows the difference between a campaign ad and public information. I guess according to them any thing Stehly has bought over the past 3 years was a campaign ad. Seriously, that is their argument. Gee, she better report that pork chop she grilled for me two years ago, must have been a nefarious attempt to buy my vote 🙂
But this is how low in the gutter Jensen’s surrogates will go to try to muddy the waters about Stehly. While they are concerned about an in-kind donation less than $30, their candidate is going to spend thousands of dollars donated to him by the well connected special interests of Sioux Falls. This is what should truly scare us, trying to buy a city council seat.
As for their argument about Stehly’s finances, what about all the PACs and LLCs with Fed Ex PO boxes that donated to her opponent? Let’s talk transparency.
I didn’t think it would hit rock bottom this soon, but I suspect by April 14th Jensen’s minions will be below the wreckage of the Titanic with their attacks. Pathetic.
The truly disgusting part of all this is the so called shoe leather argus reporters once again swallowing whatever dakota war college feeds them. Disgusting. The day they endorse jenson will be my last day as a argus subscriber. Too bad. It was a 48 year run.
I wonder what the bank regulations say about Jensen getting major exposure in 1st Premier Bank commercials after he announced his candidacy? It is a federal banking concern and could cause some issues with their charter?
OMG, $30. Seriously. This shows how hard her opponent must work to find dirt. This little something hardly compares to what could be learned about him. Was there groping or an affair? Did he smoke pot?
Maybe someone should alert the FDIC?
Well-informed voters are not fooled by these kind of escapades.
Let Them Bury Themselves……
Alex! announced his candidacy and filed a statement of organization with the city in May of 2019. Pictures of Alex! appeared on First Premier commercials beginning in late summer and into the fall of 2019. State law, 12-27-39, claims that $1000 limits on political contributions includes municipality elections. Thus, FPB’s commercials were in-kind contributions to his campaign throughout 2019, and my guess, in excess of the $1000 limit…. #MisdemeanorVill
I bought a website name and kept it alive for my benefit and as a thank you to Theresa Stehly for all the work she does for all of us.
Theresa did not know I continued to keep the site up. The $29.98 it takes to keep it running is at my expense and it looks like the vultures are circling looking for something they can catch Theresa authorizing and not reporting.
So I will say it, the website was done for Theresa 4 years ago by me and only modified slightly since. No one can blame Theresa for “hiding” a website in plan sight because she probably didn’t even know I kept it running.
My reason to keep it running is so I can prove some officeholders stick to their principles. How much has changed about Theresa since 2016?
Those who are looking for a “Theresa” scandal they can exploit, better keep looking.
what about the count’s spread in the “taupeville times”? or did he count that as a contribution in his report?
“What?”…. “…”.’the count’s spread in the ‘taupeville times’?”…. “Who does he think he is, Burt Reynolds?”
I contributed two articles to The Stehly Report.
NEVER did I think it had anything to do with campaigns and elections.
It was to share information with other residents of Sioux Falls and the surrounding area.
