Sioux Falls Mayor Race
Gregg Jamison running for mayor? Probably.
A little birdie, and a pretty reliable source told me that Jamison is 99.9% sure he is running for mayor. If this is true, at least the special interests and upper crust will be well represented in this race. It will also make great fodder for this blog. I thought maybe Gregg ‘Real People Die in Floods’ Jamison may be running out of ridiculous statements, but it sounds like we better prepare for more. I can’t wait for the first mayoral forum. Bring the popcorn.
Man who created City Hall dictatorship runs for Mayor
Little did we know yesterday, the very man who created HOME RULE was running for mayor, Bill Peterson. I caught this on KELO right about the time Plantiff commented below;
The man who created the form of city government Sioux Falls operates under says he’ll also run for mayor. Bill Peterson led the initiative to create a full-time mayor position for the city back in 1994. The former state Representative and House Majority leader plans to turn in his official paperwork by the end of the week.
“I think the question we have to ask in Sioux Falls going forward in the next couple of decades is, ‘What sort of city are we? What kind of jobs are we going to have? What kind of amenities and culture are we going to have here?'” Peterson said.
Pretty scary stuff. It’s like creating a Frankenstein to be your butler. He has created a city government that fines it’s citizens without due process, overtaxes us for Rhino barns and raises fees at a inflationary rate of health insurance premiums. Thanks, but no thanks Bill. This guy needs to be rejected early and fast.
I’m also sick of people who work for a low paying employer tell me about how they want to bring ‘jobs’ to Sioux Falls. We know what kind of ‘jobs’ you would bring, Bill. Also, I’m also about fed up with the Quality of Life Projects and amenities jibber jabber. Fix the over $100 million backlog we have on our roads in Sioux Falls first, then we’ll talk monkey crappers and Jr. Football fields.
And the hits keep coming . . .
Not sure why I look like a Cabbage Patch Kid
Another wishy-washy, suit and tie,  mediocre politician throws their hat int the ring;
Peterson, a former District 14 Republican House representative, says he sifted through many options about where he would go next and now has made a decision.
Â
He will run for mayor of Sioux Falls in 2010.
Uh. Who cares.
“Does the city continue to grow, stagnate or die?” he says. “But as I thought my way through this, we had to face the fundamental question: What kind of jobs do we want and what quality of life do we want for our children and grandchildren?” he said.
Oh, c’mon Bill. This is the same old crap you spewed at council meetings when you were cheerleading for the retail tax increase that benefits the bid developers and asking for handouts in the form of FREE facades to Downtown property owners.
Bill Peterson = Dave Munson part II
Breaking: Munson’s Chief of Staff Jodi Schwan resigns without notice
The word I am getting was that councilor Jamison offered her a job with a new group he has formed, “Jamison for a New Event Center/Mayor†I know it is a weird name, but I asked my source several times, and they said, “Yup, that’s what’s on the business cards.†I guessed he asked her to run the operation and if he wins the mayoral election he will hire her as chief of staff.
Not only did they have business cards printed up (a printer tipped me off about it) they also have t-shirts and on the back it says “For those about to Rock City Hall; Vote Jamison for mayor and for new event centerâ€.
 I’m not sure what kind of tussle this will cause between Greg and Dave?
I called a city employee I know and asked if it was true, she said. “Looks like it.†She also told me that Dave sent out a memo for a special meeting to be setup this afternoon to discuss which staffers will pick up Jodi’s duties. I asked her if she was upset about that and her response was, “What? I might have to work an extra 5 minutes a day?â€
There is also a rumor circulating what Munson will do with the money saved from her salary. I know several of the department heads have been asking for their own washers and dryers in their offices, this may be a possibility.
This oughta be an interesting city election coming up!
