The chamber makes it sound like the petitioners stopped the mayor and council from implementing snow gates, more like the other way around.
Snow Gates (Initiated Measure 1)
Sioux Falls voters will also determine if snowgates will be implemented within the City’s snow removal plan. Residents opposed to the direct implementation of snowgates (designed to reduce the amount of snow in driveways and intersections) collected enough signatures to place the issue on the ballot.
‘Residents opposed to the direct implementation’
WTF?!
Was Jesus gonna walk across Covell Lake and implement them with a wave of his olive branch?
The VOTES were NOT on the council to get snowgates implemented. I think only 3 councilors supported them. Staggers, Anderson and Jamison (and Jamison was even wavering a bit).
SO why is the Chamber flat out lying about DIRECT IMPLEMENTATION?
Talk about getting your talking points from Jesus H. Huether.
