Stormland TV News helps the City and Uptown developers spread propaganda

What was this story about?

Whatever happened to the Phillips to the Falls project and the Uptown Development?

Whatever happened to investigative reporting?

“The Uptown Development team is currently working on a financial package that will allow the them to move forward with the remainder of the Uptown at Falls Park project,” Erica Beck with city planning said.

Letting a city planner feed you a line of bullshit and not calling her out on that bullshit is hardly good journalism. C’mon Jorge, I thought you were better then that? Must be too busy chasing clouds in Butte county.

What did I tell yah?

As South DaCola reported, there was rumors that Jodi Schwan would get a job transfer before Mayor Munson left office. One of the rumors was moving over to CityLink and replacing some people. As you can see from this edition of Inside Town Hall that first appeared on Monday, the regular host is missing and Jodi was hosting the program. Not sure if she was filling in, or her job transfer was in progress, but this will be one to watch.

Bob Litz; You won’t like me when I am angry (and wrong)

SouthDaCola-51-litz-hulk

Temper, Temper now, Bob;

Litz accused Staggers of “planting” the people in the meeting. Staggers denied the accusation and told Litz that he would have him “personally removed” if he ever made it again.

“If you want me to leave, Mr. Chairman, I’d be happy to,” Litz said. He gathered his papers and walked out.

BAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, because Kermit has that much control over people he can get them to show up to meetings. Kind of sounds like a group of citizens feeling they are getting screwed over, maybe that is why they showed up?

Earlier, Litz accused Staggers of using the meeting to make a “political rant.”

More like challenging the ‘Status Quo’ – What’s wrong with that?

When asked about the issue with Westwick, the city’s zoning enforcement manager declined to talk about it unless it was done in executive session – a meeting closed to the public.

“I’m not at liberty to put it out there and have the jury of public opinion discussed here,” Shawna Goldammer said.

This is the same ‘Shawna Goldhammer’ that was asked if the city could relax regulations a little to speed up the Whittier neighborhood revival and her stern and direct answer was “NO!” This chick won’t budge on shit. I have a feeling if Staggers gets elected she will be unemployed.

The meeting wasn’t entirely about the campground issue. Former Minnehaha County Commissioner Jerry Noonan complained the city is harassing him about a vacant property.

He said the process and staff at City Hall are unfriendly.

“I think I should be treated a little civilized in that particular process,” Noonan said.

I don’t think they are unfriendly – just really f’ing stupid.
