We saw it this past time around in the school board election where an outgoing board member recruited a replacement.
Now Sioux Falls city councilor Cole is chairing the campaign of an At-Large council candidate that wants to replace her. It doesn’t really matter who he is because he will NOT be getting my vote. I will spread the news about this unethical behavior.
• Councilor Cole is NOT running for re-election, in other words she is quitting but wants to make sure she can pick a replacement.
• This is highly unethical and not sure why local yocals are doing this lately (Poops was precedent on this).
• As a highly skilled medical doctor, Cole should know this is unethical behavior.
Guess who decides who will serve us on the council? THE VOTERS!
While it is certainly NOT unethical to advise this candidate or even volunteer for his campaign, recruiting him, endorsing him publicly and chairing his campaign isn’t right.
I hope Sux wakes up before the next election and start looking at candidates for who they are ETHICALLY instead who racks up the most donations and endorsements.
I also heard another candidate running for council MAY HAVE put down a false address. I will investigate and update (from what I found so far, he lives at the address listed on his campaign finance forms.
