Once the video of this forum is up on the web, I will link it, should be in a few days. I did not attend, so all I know is what was in the Gargoyle;
“I’m fresh. I’m the new person. I’m the person that hasn’t been involved in city government before,” he said.
Huether is a former executive vice president at Premier Bankcard who left that job to run for mayor full time.
I’m fresh, fresh from raping low-income people of their hard earned paychecks.
Staggers, a Sioux Falls city councilor and a professor at the University of Sioux Falls, focused on how his views of city government differ from those of the other candidates.
“You may see a little homogeneity in the views of my four opponents,” he said.
A little? The only thing separating the other candidates is their haircuts.
Brown, a Sioux Falls city councilor and marketing manager for SDN Communications, said the current administration already has a plan in place for a balanced budget.
“The cuts are ready and in place if we need them,” he said.
Then do them now, what are we waiting for? The apocolypse?
I also got this comment today about Costello, cracking the whip to cut croutons;
I have worked for Pat Costello in the past and can honestly say he is the most arrogant, uncaring trust-fund baby i have ever encountered. After confronting him about receiving my annual 25 cent raise he responded by telling me “you should be working right now, go cut croutons.†After a few weeks of pleading I managed to receive a meager 15 cent raise and was told “not to expect anything else for six months.†When Pat says he wants to control costs he means it, only he likes to control costs off the backs of the working class so his businesses can reap the benefits. Why would a man who’s been given everything in his life from his wealthy family refuse someone like me, who has to work hard to earn my living, the dignity of a fair pay rate after a year of good service? As far as i am concerned he does not deserve any office in this great city.
