Mr. Beck never disappoints with his love letters. One day he is photoshopping former Mayor Munson’s face on Dr. Suess’s Cat in the Hat, the next he is preparing a bed of roses for our current mayor, Mike Huether. (I skipped over all the BS about people parking boats on the street and the he said, she said stuff);
Civic gadfly I.L. Wiedermann, who sued to shut down the red-light cameras at 10th and Minnesota, thereby restoring motorists’ God-given right to veer into pedestrians’ path without getting caught or fined, has filed an ethics complaint against the city and Huether.
First off, I don’t think any citizen thinks it is their RIGHT to run a red light and hurt or kill someone. However, we do have the right to be lawfully served as individuals if we are accused of breaking the law. And that was the point of the lawsuit, and he prevailed, so it is time to STFU about the red light camera issue. The US Constitution is right, and you are wrong. Next topic please.
Their self-righteous cries to the contrary, this brouhaha is all about a simmering personal animosity toward Huether that is as deep as any I’ve seen in my decade in South Dakota – with the possible exception of that guy who used to be governor, and I don’t mean Mike Rounds.
You couldn’t be more wrong on this. I guess I don’t really think about Huether personally, never have. He would never be my friend, and I am sure he thinks the same about me. I also think a lot of SF residents think about him in the same way I do – he has made some good choices, and he has made some bad choices. Nothing personal. It is pretty obvious he has made some bad choices on the EC. Does that mean we should hate him? Hell no. He has been on top of trying to fix other problems in our city and I commend him 100%.
I think Beck is trying to stir the pot by turning the EC issue into a personal thing, and Mike has played that card to. Give me a F’ng break! Politicians make stupid decisions sometimes, that’s part of the bizzo. But to spite or hate them for it is just ignorant. What is even more ignorant is to accuse your readers of doing that.
Then you sit around with your finger up your ass wondering why subscriptions and advertising is down. Gee, I wonder why?
