“The American people will not be able to truly rejoice until we break ground on a new events center.”
SIOUX FALLS (STORMLAND ENDORSER NEWS)
On the eve of one of the greatest presentations mayor Huether will ever make, he reacts to the jubilance of the American people on the death of Bin Laden.
While many Americans are rejoicing in the death of one of the worst terrorists to ever exist, the good folks of Sioux Falls are rejoicing also. Rejoicing, because not only a chapter in American history can be closed, but a new chapter in Sioux Falls history can be opened, and that’s the construction of a new events center in Sioux Falls.
At the press conference, held at the McKennan Park tennis courts late Sunday night, Huether seemed to avoid questions about his Monday presentation;
Sorry, I am not going to answer questions about the greatest investment Sioux Falls will ever make, I’m not. This press conference is about the death of Bin Laden. And while I could go on and on about the millions in economic impact, the lack of parking downtown, and just how good and swell a new events center could be, I would rather concentrate on Bin Laden’s death instead of bonified studies proving the Arena location is the best spot for an events center or that Steve Hildebrand is trying to sabotage my plans.
But the shocker of the night was when STORMLAND ENDORSER reporter, Ben Dunnless asks Huether a direct question about Afghan caves or something, and Huether breaks down in tears;
We got . . . we got em’ . . . right where we want em’ . . . and gosh darn it . . . it’s not Bin Laden, it’s the good people of Sioux Falls. We got em in a corner and we are going to shove this events center train down their throats just like American special forces shoved their way into Bin Laden’s compound.
We are closer then ever to conquering terror in the world and we are closer then ever to building an events center in Sioux Falls. These goals can be reached together! God Bless America, and God Bless Sioux Falls, South Dakota! It’s time to cut the mustard!
After his speech, Huether immediately turned around and removed a tennis racket, a tennis ball and a can of lighter fluid from a gym bag, doused the ball in fluid, lit it on fire and hit it into the sky. It landed somewhere near the sunken gardens where it seemed to bounce off of the statue of liberty. Supporters of the new events center could be seen running after the ball while singing God Bless America.
