Munson’s deposition proves once again that the department heads are running Sioux Falls . . .

Howdy Doody would have made a better mayor

This should come as no surprise;

Wiedermann, who was present at the deposition, said he was surprised to hear that the mayor is briefed by staff on contracts and that Munson doesn’t always read the entire contract before signing them.

“It boggles my mind the number of things he signed without reading it,” Wiedermann said.

Don’t get too boggled over it I.L. – it doesn’t surprise me at all. Munson doesn’t have time to read contracts he is too busy drinking iced tea at the Diner and lighting the $100,000 a year Holiday at the Falls display.

You mean developers are not running City Hall? You had me fooled.

The Gargoyle Leader’s editorial board never ceases to astonish me. Today they wrote an editorial reminding citizens who should set policy in Sioux Falls;

More importantly, though, city leaders – not local developers – need to be driving policy decisions on whether to adjust the hookup fees.

No shit sherlock. This editorial should have been written seven years ago. Citizens elect the council and mayor to vote for their best interests, but it seems this current council and mayor do the bidding of the big developers, time and time again.
