Does the SF City Council have the right to call a special election with the SF School district w/o the mayor’s direction or approval?
The answer is YES, they do.
I am fortunate to have many well-rounded South DaCola foot soldiers leave ‘items’ on my porch for review, buy me adult beverages, and even make a bet or two with me, but the legal beagles in my army are my favorites. One of them called me today.
According to their expertise on all things ‘city’ they said that the city council can take action on their own without the mayor’s approval on whether they want to join the SF School board election in the Spring.
This is wonderful news, but also a bit troubling.
Will certain city councilors wait for the mayor to hold their hands through this process, or will they just rip that band aid off already? Trust me, this will separate the leaders from the followers on the city council, watch closely, you never know when someone will edit the tape or censor a memo.

So let’s see who has the guts to challenge Sub Prime Mike. Let’s also compare who has a contractor or someone else who cleans their driveways.
Michelle Erpenbach (Cent) and Council Chair
James Entenman (AL) and Council Vice Chair
Sue Aguilar (SE)
Kenny Anderson Jr. (NE) – supporter & signer
Greg Jamison (SW) – supporter & signer
Dean Karsky (NW)
Rex Rolfing (AL)
Kermit L. Staggers (AL) – supporter & 1st signer
AND, let’s keep in mind WHO may be considering running for a second term on the Council in April 2014………. just one year after a potential snow gate vote in April 2013.
Michelle Erpenbach
Jim Entenman
Sue Aguilar
Rex Rolfing
Snow gates………….a CITYWIDE “Quality of Life” issue.
The snowgate opponents should have the right to place “Do not Disturb” signs next to their driveways after the next blizzard. It’s only fair.
Jamison suggested a ‘Red Flag’ when he was on Knobe’s show. Hilarious. So how many do you think would put the flag out if this got approved? I would guarantee about 0%. It often makes me laugh because the same people who bitch about socialism and handouts are the cheapest MOFO’s in this town. They are willing to pay out too much for removing the snow berm from the end of their driveways just to ‘prove’ to their neighbors they can afford it, but when the neighbors get the same right, all of sudden they are ‘lazy’. Okay, if the neighbors are so ‘lazy’ why don’t you go out and move that berm of snow. F’ing Hypocrites.
It is hilarious how many people say in a bravado, “I can do it with my snow blower” and they can barely breathe between smokes.
It’s only a snowgate going by, not Passover.
Someday Sioux Falls will get a real snow and these anti-snowgate ignorami will rue the day.
