Just a few minutes ago when Manny Steele was asked by Patrick Lalley on ‘100 Eyes’ about the communication between the council and mayor . Manny made the above comment in reference to the termination of former city clerk Debra Owen. Wow! It was nice to hear this finally from someone running for the SF city council.
‘Helmets are for wussies!’
While the Argus Leader allowed council candidate Kiley to tout his government experience today;
Kiley, 60, is retired from teaching high school biology and now works as director of the South Dakota Safety Council’s motorcycle rider education program.
He’s served on a number of community boards, including the city’s Falls Community Health board, the Sioux Falls Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Interstate 229 corridor study. He’s also vice chairman of the National Association of Motorcycle Safety Administrators and served on the governor’s task force on impaired driving and roadway safety.
One has to wonder how successful he has been in those roles and may explain why he isn’t very good at answering questions saying he likes to base his decisions on ‘facts’. Sitting on several safety boards, he must know where the state sits on safety standards;
Worst States
The red rating indicates that the following states are dangerously behind in the adoption of Advocates’ optimal laws. States receive a red rating if they have fewer than 7 laws, without both primary enforcement front and rear seat belt laws.
(1) SOUTH DAKOTA Only 2 laws. Missing front and rear primary enforcement seat belt law, all-rider motorcycle helmet law, booster seat law, 6 of the 7 teen driving provisions, an ignition interlock law, a child endangerment law and an
all-driver text messagingrestriction.
It would seem to me, that while Mr. Kiley would like to tout all his government experience on safety councils and boards, he should probably hope that no one looks at the state’s record on traffic safety, because those ‘facts’ reveal that Mr. Kiley hasn’t been doing much except keeping a seat warm, because he surely isn’t helping us to be much safer.
Not only did Huether bring lower air fares to Sioux Falls, I heard he is a direct decendent of the Wright Brothers.
Oh, KELO, how you make us chuckle, with your funny weather gadgets and your cozy relationships with the mayor, T. Denny and anybody else that is ‘Sanfordish’. A blantant 3 minute info-commercial for the Mayor and the Airport, even after Ellis wrote an article (based on factual information from Airport Board minutes) to prove that Huether is blatantly lying about his role in getting lower airfares in Sioux Falls;
When he was elected in 2010, Mayor Mike Huether said one of his top priorities was to bring down the price of airfare out of Sioux Falls.
Four years later, that’s happened, for some destinations.
The airline business has changed considerably since Mayor Mike Huether took office calling for lower fares.
And that is about all he did. The airport and it’s board are ultimately responsible for the success of lower fares, but if Huether wants to take credit by making a couple of phone calls, and KELO airs it, hook, line and sinker, so be it. Welcome to another propaganda filled election cycle in Sioux Falls, where elections are won by the highest bidder. Unless you are De Knudson . . . ouch.
When a politician has to tell you they are honest, ah, well . . .
