Gee, I thought I was becoming a vegetarian, heck bordering on vegan when it came to the mayoral race. Trust me, Jamison has been warned by many to ‘not go negative’ on Huether. But I believe Greg is only speaking ‘the truth’ when it comes to our mayor;
“Here’s what happens when a politician’s ego enters the room before he does,†Jamison said. “The focus of a good policy discussion turns quickly to, ‘How fast can I hold a press conference to announce it? Will the media show up? What should I wear? Will my hair be OK? I get mad when the media doesn’t cover it.’â€
There is something I have known a very, very, very long time about MMM, he’s not modest, he’s not humble, and he certainly struggles with the truth. Don’t believe me, just read this email he sent Monty;
“As long as I have the honor to serve the people, I will focus on the positive in life and also get things done,†Huether wrote.
Trust me, MMM is not the first politician to invoke ‘positivity’ versus, ‘the truth’ often people, let’s say Greg Jamison in this particular case, are considered, ‘negative’ or ‘controversial’ because they may reveal the ‘truth’ about a particular issue or politician.
So was Greg being ‘negative’ in reference to our honorable mayor? Yes he was. But some times the truth isn’t always positive. Sorry Sioux Falls.
*BTW, I am still digesting some other red meat on our mayor and the promises he is making about an indoor pool, update coming soon.
UPDATE: There is a lot more to Jamison’s speech then just a couple of stabs at MMM.
