I did not have a chance to look at the agenda before Monday night’s Sioux Falls city council meeting, so when this came up in the video, I had to rewind and watch again. Apparently the mayor added an appropriation after the council already approved it (which some councilors viewed as ILLEGAL). Kermit thanks the clerk’s office for catching it, then Kermit catches Hell from the Mayor. And of course the Mayor’s attorney, ah, I mean, the city attorney backs him up and takes the blame for it (one more reason why I have serious concerns about Dave’s political appointees). Attorney Amundson says that Dave did not direct him to do it (you’ll have to turn up the volume in this part of the video). Yeahhhhh Right Robert.
One of the reasons that Abraham Lincoln was one of our greatest presidents was because he didn’t appoint his friends to his cabinet. You would think a good Republican(?) like Munson would know better.
Hardy, Harr, Harr.
Here’s the video;
