Don’t be fooled by the beard, that’s Northside Davey in disguise
Apparently RC’s Mayor Hanks and Munson share a playbook;
“We have our challenges here, there’s no question. The national economy has started to affect our local economy. But when we’re sitting at 4 percent unemployment when the national average is at 8 percent, when our sales tax is still strong, I’d rather be sitting in Rapid City, South Dakota, than anywhere else in the country right now,†Hanks said.
Personally, I’d rather be sitting on a beach in Belize smoking a Cuban and drinking margaritas.
Hey, Rapid City is still growing while Sioux Falls grows in Munson’s dreams. Rapid City is a real democracy that serves its citizens. Sioux Falls could learn a lot from them.
They also have a more vidulant (sp?) newspaper. They understand that whole ‘4th Estate’ thingy and how it works.
Vigilant.
The argus is too afraid someone else will sue them over hurt feelings to be tough on anyone.
And they are worried they will lose advertisers who are sympathetic and dependent on the city.
