UPDATE: Yup, looks just like Brown;
Nomination for At-Large “A” City Council Member
Vernon Brown
2019 S Pendar Lane
Sioux Falls, SD 57105
Nomination by Council Member Miranda Basye
Nomination seconded by Council Member Ryan Spellerberg
It was no secret that the council was likely going to appoint a former city councilor this next Tuesday night to take over Dr. Cole’s seat after she HAD to leave Sioux Falls for her profession.
The question was who? My short list was;
Rolfing
Starr
Kiley
Neitzert
Jensen
Stehly
Brekke
I could also see Jeff Barth or John Paulson.
Another name brought up to me last week was Erpenbach. And I thot this may be the wisest choice since she just disbanded Thrive maybe she could take the next 6 months on the council to to reorganize the homeless task force. So while I am NOT a Michelle fan, it was much better then others on that list. It’s not Michelle but it’s close, it is likely someone who works for Michelle’s husband Steve.
I figured over the weekend the true candidate would emerge, and they may have. The rumor is that Vernon Brown will be nominated on Tuesday night and there will be no other nominations. I guess things could be worse, we could nominate Matt Paulson to the city council, of course they would have to change house rules so Matt could bring his emotional support dog* to the meetings with him.
They may mix it up and nominate Michelle, Vernon and Rick just to make it look like they are doing their due diligence, but I hear they didn’t have to many takers (or at least takers that are willing to wear knee pads around 9th and Dakota).
*That was satire. I know ‘who’ his emotional support dog is, and they don’t eat Alpo.
