Watch this video on Stormland TV.
Towards the end of the video, the reporter says that he contacted the Mayor, and Huether told him he had never heard of the petition drive (LOL) and told the reporter to talk to Rolfing, Kiley or Erpenbach. None of them returned his call. BIG SURPRISE!!! The three ring circus clowns have their phones off as usual.
For Immediate Release (WATCH KSFY-TV video explaining the drive).
Stop the Funding will hold a press conference Monday afternoon:
Sioux Falls City Hall
South Entrance
224 West 9th Street ( 9th  St and Dakota Ave)
2:00pm
The Stop the Funding campaign is proud to announce 12 year City Council member, Kermit Staggers is joining the petition signature drive as Co-Chair. Kermit is the longest serving member of the City Council. Public is invited to attend and welcome Kermit Staggers to our efforts
Stop the Funding is a citizen petition effort gathering signatures to force the City of Sioux Falls to place the funding of a planned $25,000,000.00 city government overflow administrative office building to a public vote before sales tax revenue bonds are sold.
“The Sioux Falls City Council has voted 3 times to not allow this project to move forward. Only through two tie breaking votes and a mayoral veto did the project reach the point of direct public involvement in the process. The public’s response to our signature drive have been overwhelming,†said Bruce Danielson, Co-Chair.
The response to this grassroots petition effort is generating interest across every neighborhood of the city. Each petition contains 20 signature lines and Bruce Danielson spent the weekend distributing leadership petition packets to at least 35 neighborhood leaders.
The proposed ordinance in proper form is as follows:
           AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA TO PROHIBIT THE ISSUANCE OF SALES TAX REVENUE BONDS FOR AN ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE BUILDING AT OR NEAR 231 N. DAKOTA AVE.
         BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA:
The City of Sioux Falls shall not sell sales tax revenue bonds for the construction of a city administrative office building.

Bruce Danielson (Cameraman Bruce) announced his petition drive today. You can contact him;
Hello to all,
I am sending this email to several groups to ask your help in our latest project. As many of you may have heard, we are attempting to prevent the city of Sioux Falls from spending millions of dollars on a questionable office building for city staff. The building has only reached this point because the mayor has broken two city council ties and the veto on Wednesday.
We have asked the administration to justify this building and work with the Minnehaha and Lincoln county governments on space needs. The administration of Mike Huether has refused to work in good faith.
Now we have some heavy lifting to do over the next two weeks to gather 6500 signatures. We know it can be done because we have done before and we know it must be done because we need to right a wrong.
It’s been a while since we last did electoral battle together, Will you carry and fill petitions for about 2 weeks?
I am currently printing petitions and folders.
If you can get one petition, great
If you can help us with two or more amazing. We’ve had people fight city hall and collect 1000 signatures or more. Whatever you can do we all will appreciate it.
Call me at 605-376-8087 or hit your reply button and I will meet you with petitions.
Thanks for all you do,
Bruce Danielson
