Yep… that pretty much sums it up.

SF Special Interest 1 – citizens 0
I’ll have more tommorrow on the sales tax increase vote, but I wanted to point out some memorable moments. In chronological order
– Munson gaveled me because I said the board of ethics was politically appointed. I asked him if he appointed them, he said yes. He belongs to a political party (Republican). I guess he had a problem with the truth. He really should run for governor.
– I overheard the #1 developer in SF bitchin’ about public input in the bathroom to a friend. When he noticed I walked in he sarcastically said to his friend “But, it’s America, and they have that right.” then they both laughed.
– De Knudson told me she was tired. She must volunteer her time on the council like I volunteered my time to tonight . . . yeah . . . right.
Do Sioux Falls city councilors represent you or special interests?
According to 2008 campaign financial statements combined of Litz, Jamison, Brown and Anderson the following special interest contribution amounts were made to the four candidates (siouxfalls.org):
Individual Developer Contributions: $7,500
Housing PAC contributions: $5,750
Realtor PAC contributions: $1,500
Attorney PAC contributions: $400
Telecommunication PAC contributions: $250
Individual contractor/building supplier contributions: $900
Litz got the biggest cut of the money at  $6,100 and Anderson got the least at $500. With Jamison in at 2nd and Brown in at 3rd place.
More Neo-con BS on KCPO’s THE FACTS
Yesterday my buddy FolkArts who hosts the show had on another Republican talking head on his show, even though he claims that he has ‘Republican and Democratic viewpoints’. When was that?
Yesterday’s guest was former Pressler press secretary and everyone’s favorite female SF neo-con Kristi (Stewart) Golden. Her talking points were more like a comedy act.
Like most neo-cons in this state she;
–Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Complained that Dykstra isn’t getting the attention he deserves (wah) and has a better grasp of the issues then Johnson. (you mean the fact that he worked for big oil?)
–Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â That Initiative Ten would prevent family members to contribute money to campaigns if they work for the state. (flat out lie)
–Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Initiative 11 is actually good for women because it contains exceptions. (even though those exceptions would be impossible to obtain because of the long drawn out court process)
–         And last but not least, John McSame would win by a ‘Walk’ (I had clean coffee off my wall after that statement – and trust me, hot coffee shooting through your nose is not fun).

Nothing like a little Sunday morning neo-con BS to get you day going.
