Before I get into a half story about a strange dynamic going on right now in city government that involves rich powerful people and money grubby politicos let’s talk about what we want to see next year.
I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and hopefully next year at this exact time I will be blogging about how our new mayor transformed government access and integrity within the halls of city hall. Our city council is actually writing policy that benefits citizens over businesses, the Dems sweep the House and Senate and eliminate the filibuster to overturn most of Republiscum’s horrific policies. The irony is this will be a cakewalk for Dems if they win. Why? Because the dipsh!t GOP hasn’t passed any legislation only waiting on Trump to do EO’s which can be overturned by the Congress pretty quickly by codifying it.
I will also celebrate my 19th Anniversary of DaCola on June 24th. My intention has always been to try to make it to 20 years before my blogging career (at least in politics) ends. In retirement I plan to do a video blog about my travels. There have been almost 15,000 posts on DaCola since it’s inception.
MONEY IN SIOUX FALLS MAKES STRANGE BEDFELLOWS
While most people would think we are divided by the Left/Right in this community when it comes to politics, that couldn’t be further from reality.
MONEY. That’s what divides this town. If you have moolah, it doesn’t matter if you are Repug or Demorat, as long as you have the greenbacks. It’s the Rich Party vs. the Poor Party. And while there is more of us in the Poor Party, the Rich Party has more buying power.
There’s an interesting dynamic going on right now behind the scenes that involves a mayoral candidate a possible gubernatorial candidate and a little rich weasel in our community playing defense and offense, all with different political affiliations. I would love to tell you what I know so far, because this stuff is as juicy as it gets, but I want this to ferment a little longer before I serve that glass of whine.
For the record nothing ILLEGAL is going on here, that I can see, I wouldn’t even classify it as corrupt or unethical, it is just typical money politics in Sioux Falls with the same cast of characters trying to play games with the Clems to get what they want. I hope they ALL F’ING LOSE at the ballot box 🙂 We can only hope. I know I ain’t voting for either of them.
