I bet his desk is clean! Good thing we are building a $25 million dollar administration building so our city directors have room to stretch out!

Sioux Falls Mayor proposes city flag design
The City of Sioux Falls ‘OFFICIAL’ Flag?
I’m sure you have seen it around town, especially hanging from downtown businesses store fronts, the tri-colored ‘unofficial’ flag of Sioux Falls. The city council and Mayor’s office has been pressured several times to make the flag the ‘official’ flag of the city, with NO luck.
The group pushing for the design had essentially gave up and just started selling the flag as the ‘unofficial’ flag of Sioux Falls.
Mayor Huether realizing there really hasn’t been a resolution on the issue put his staff at central and media services to work to come up with an ‘official design’. After they compiled about 10 different designs he shared it with directors, family and close friends.
This was ultimately the design the Mayor picked. It still has to go through city council approval.
Mayor Huether had this say about the new design.
“I think it reflects the passive, plain, artistic ignorance of the ruling class in our city while also representing the bare bones uneventful lives of the working class of our city. I have NO doubt our city council will pass this POSITIVE design, and if they don’t, I will just veto their NO votes. I think I can do that.”
The mayor has promised to get things done his last year in office, and here is yet another example of his leadership and vision if only this article wasn’t a big joke.
Garth Brooks buys Events Center
It really came down to Mr. Brooks running the numbers, according to his management,
“Hey, make no mistake, we were going to make an a**load of money from doing our 27 shows in Sioux Falls. We even had to charter a private jet to haul all of the cash OUT OF SIOUX FALLS. We just figured it would be more economical for us to buy the Events Center.â€
While most of the year Brooks shows will be booked at the EC, think Celine Dion, Vegas Show, they will do other shows, like monster trucks and rodeos, but they will also do country, country and country shows.
While Brooks won’t live in Sioux Falls permanently, he did purchase a very nice residence on the South Side.
“Garth got a Hell of a deal on a home by the Walmart on 85th and Minnesota. He loved how the Walmart sign illuminated his driveway at night.â€
We asked what Brooks would do about the bent up siding on the EC. Management had a positive twist on that.
Besides getting a $1 million dollar discount on the purchase price due to the whacked siding job, it was actually a selling point.
“Garth liked how it looked like an old grain bin. Actually we will be adding fake rust streaks and a big auger. We are also going to change the landscaping to a field of corn around the EC.â€
We wondered if the secret siding settlement was disclosed during the negotiations.
“Yeah, we saw it, but we won’t be releasing it to the public, they would crap their pants.â€
We wondered if City Hall had any comments about the sale, and the mayor released this statement.
“This is a darn good deal for the good folks of Sioux Falls. Not only will we be able to pay off the bonds early on the Events Center, we will still have a great entertainment facility that was pretty much built for country shows anyway. And I will never have to answer questions about the siding anymore.â€
We asked if there would be any major changes with Brooks management running the facility.
Besides the bars now will only serve Jack Daniels and Coors Light, all shows will be $75. Whether that is a Brooks show, a rodeo or a State ‘A’ tournament.
We asked if Garth himself had anything to say about the purchase. He did,
“Sorry Denny, there’s a new Sheriff in town.â€
A bronze of Brooks is already being minted for the campus of the new Brooks Events Center.
