Things that make you go Hmmmm . . .

I had a revelation today after reading the story about the City Financial status in the Business Journal.

 

I think the bonding company is going to be charging higher interest rates NOT because of our petition drive but because of the 75% decrease in revenue growth last year, and that is why Finance Director Rowenhorst DID NOT present those numbers on Monday, but instead tried to pin it on us. When Jessica from the bonding company says the bonds will have a ‘story’ or ‘hair’ on them, I think there is several hairs involved, including  the economy and unemployment rate.

Well we should have saw this coming a mile away

Not only do I think we can fix our tax problems in SD with a 35% property tax decrease (so I can sell more real estate of course) but we need more anti-choice legislation on the books.” Sen. Howie

What SD Legislative session wouldn’t be complete without some good old fashion abortion legislation;

Today several SD lawmakers introduced Senate Bill 92 which would require abortion doctors to be available in the city for consultation one day prior to performing an abortion.

Huge thanks to State Senator Gordon Howie and colleagues for introducing SB 92.

Smoking ban will reduce DUI’s?

Smoking ban could reduce scenes like this

According to this letter writer a smoking ban could help to reduce drunk drivers;

If a no-smoking ban becomes law, there will be two losers: us and – most important – the smoking ban. We will lose good customers. They will stay home and drink so they can smoke

Sounds good to me! I love the irony of this letter, he’s against a smoking ban, but points out another huge benefit if it goes into affect. Good thing you own a bar, I don’t think you are smart enough to work anywhere else.
