Could Mayor Huether serve a 3rd term?

I know, I had to swallow a little throw-up when I re-read that above title to. But what are his options?

There has been a lot of back room talk that the mayor may not be able to secure governorship in 2018. As I have have often noted, don’t underestimate the guy. I think the Republicans are going to have a brutal primary and with Mike’s money and influence, he could convince the dough heads in power of the SD Democratic Party he’s their man, but let’s consider for a moment that he may want the mayorship again. How can he accomplish this?

• He could convince a buddy to run in 2018 and only serve one term (conveniently) and reappear in 2022, OR

• Even easier, he could convince the Charter Revision Commission to offer an amendment to allow mayors in Sioux Falls to serve 3 terms.

The 2nd option would be easier.

What do I think? I hope that in 2018 when Huether exits city hall there is a U-Haul outside with his belongings in it headed to Texas, California or even Mars.
