“I had a dream where the statue of Sanford fell on me and I splattered to puddles.”

I will have to admit, I hear a lot of funny (and sad) things at city council meetings, but this has to be one of the biggest LOL moments ever. Tonight the city council approved more zoning and neighborhood destruction for Sanford hospital. But before the vote, an elderly lady who has lived in the neighborhood almost her whole life came to testify against it. Besides the above comment in the title of the post, she had some other things to say (paraphrasing).
“I may be a lone wolf in the wilderness, but I need to say this stuff (about Sanford).”
“I know Sioux Valley hospital, but I don’t know this octopus eating up our neighborhoods, Sanford.”
But when she said the title of this post, I almost pissed my pants. She prefaced the comment by saying she has vivid dreams and she was giving kids a historic tour of the hood in the dream, and that is what happened.
Don’t get me wrong, Sanford needs to expand, that is obvious, but they do not need to expand their specialty clinics, etc in the middle of the city, and they know it. Citizens need to rise up and stop this expansion.
Councilors Staggers was the only one who voted against the expansion. Go figure.
