Late Birthday Gift
l3wis This was on my doorstep this morning.
One of my snarky friends must have left it, without a card.
I know who you are . . . I think.

Events Center Siding ‘Non-Conforming’ work
I will let you watch the informational meeting about all the details of the ‘resolution’ process. But a few things are disconcerting, and quite frankly abhorrent;
1) The city rejected the work May 1 and has waited almost 3 months before sharing it with the public and most importantly, the city council.
2) City attorney is STILL refusing to share the consultants ‘impressions’ report with the council and public and media.
3) We will take ownership of the building August 1, and the siding resolution will not be resolved at that time
4) When councilor Staggers asked if the city and public will be on the hook for the fix of the siding, the city attorney could not give an answer
Folks, this is what happens when there is a clear lack of transparency in government. Why couldn’t the council or public be told there was a ‘resolution’ process? When government is not transparent with the public there is a clear appearance of corruption. Not saying anything corrupt is going on, but the appearance is clearly there. Crystal.
Wonder what other ‘secrets’ are being withheld from the public?
I truly believe if councilor Rolfing would not have asked the question back on May 27, the public would still be in the dark on this issue.
A sad, sad, day in transparency in city government in Sioux Falls. In fact, I feel like I have just been punched in the eye.
Better call code enforcement
Looks like someone wasn’t securing their load, wait, what does the license plate say? Nevermind.
More problems at Van Eps park
Apparently there was another incident this morning at the troublesome park. A lady with no legs had her wheelchair stolen, and she was left there to fend for herself. If it were not for a county employee that saw her, she might have laid in the heat all day.
Some say just outlawing alcohol at the park would solve the problem. My suggestions?
1) Remove the portapotties
2) Remove the picnic tables
3) Cut down all the trees, or at least trim them to a point where they do not provide shade
Make the park undesirable to people who want to ‘hang’ and the alcohol banishment won’t make much of a difference.
Vote for me!
The survey begins for the Sioux Falls banner. I am #68, give me a 5! Though #27 is pretty comical.
