I knew it was only a matter of time;
The City of Sioux Falls notified LSS South Dakota on Friday, December 19, that the City will no longer financially support the Multi-Cultural Center starting December 31.
The city has supported this institution for 28 years. The yearly grant is $146K. Is it a lot of money? Sure, but just last week the council OK’d a social media contract for $100K with NO objections from council. So the money is there.
I think the city is doing this with pressure from the Governor’s office and ultimately DHS. Notice most of the services are for immigrants. I will agree with the city on one thing, the city really shouldn’t be funding the center, it should be funded thru the state, school district, county and Feds, but as I have told councilors in the past, while the money comes out of different buckets, we are all paying into those buckets, so does it really matter?
This is just racist policies coming down from DC and Pierre because the city knows they can afford this for decades to come. I guess if I was walking out of office in June, the last thing I would want my legacy is being a RACIST. There really is no other way to look at this. The city has the money and has funded this for almost 3 decades! This is not an economic decision. So I guess Trump, Noem and Rhoden are running Sioux Falls under white hoods.
