Grumpy-Grumps is back on the beat, oh joy. I guess he stopped crying over Janklow beating him up.
Okay, I don’t expect the average Joe on the street to understand the Event Center circus, but I do expect the publisher of Sioux Falls’ only daily paper to understand it, especially since he is promising he will write his column again;
So beginning this month, I’ll be returning to a regular column rotation, at least monthly.
While I welcome Beck’s column, because #1, I think he is a fantastic writer and I also think he is really funny, sometimes biting, sometimes tragically, but what I do not approve of is spreading bologna about the EC funding;
Public momentum, for example, seems to be solidly behind building an events center in a way that belies the city’s fractured political leadership. As long as we can figure out how to keep Howard Wood Field out of the final solution, locate a donor to provide some seed money and convince Pierre to give us (and other cities) the power to control our own destiny through the BBB tax, we’ll be on our way to making a major investment in the quality of life in Sioux Falls.
First off, let’s clarify something, I do think a large MINORITY supports a new EC, but only if we fund it without taxing the poor and working class more, and secondly, I am not sure who’s ass you pulled the BBB tax funding idea from, but you and I both know that, that is not the proposal.
I will hold back any criticism and give you the opportunity to print a correction, soon, like, tomorrow.
The column that got him sued was one of his absolute best.
Too bad some people have no sense of humor.
It was f’ing hilarious.
“Ah, I meant North Dakota, not South Dakota.”
I thought there was some sarcasm to the event center comments. But when I read it again I was surprised he mentioned BBB tax. He doesn’t even read his own paper?
