Yes, municipal governments work with the school districts in their respective territories and often school and municipal elections share a ballot like they will next Tuesday in Rapid City, BUT . . . (Stu Whitney column)
Building a new sports and entertainment complex. Working to improve race relations. Finding ways to ensure schools are properly funded. Forging relationships with businesses to spark growth.
This is what you get when you take a sports writer and turn him into a city columnist overnight. Lack of understanding.
Municipal governments have NO control over School District funding, and vice versa.
While it is nice for the mayoral candidates to weigh in on the school district opt-out in Rapid City or school start dates in Sioux Falls (as our mayor thought appropriate) they really have no control over it. That is NOT a leadership issue, it is a governing/jurisdiction issue.
Please, do us all a favor and do a little research on the basic tenants of local government. After all, it is where the big decisions are made, not in publicly supplemented indoor tennis courts.
No state income tax here. Also Texas but I learned over 65 pays no school taxes there, oil pays. Tax corn so retirees not move to Texas.
Stu is OK but more beef and less potatoes.
Having read some of his columns, whenever I see a column by “STU”, I engage in wishful thinking and can only see a column by “STFU” now and based on his lack of talent and impartiality, can’t bring myself to read it.
For your readers not familiar with the acronym (no insult intended) it means “Shut the F#ck up” and seems appropriate. Unless his columns are the Argus’ attempt at comic relief, then it’s working. I’ve laughed at most of the ones I’ve read.
tenets – not tenants. Basic English. Just sayin’.
I’m also getting tired of seeing 1/2 to full page pictures of Jodi Schwann, Stu, and another man that in the pictures appears to be grey haired, on an almost daily basis. Isn’t it enough that we see Jodi in the Business Journal and on KSFY’s 5:00PM news on Tuesday. That being said when she comes on the news I stick my nose in a book. Actually, I think it must be something with people in my age group, because I don’t know anybody that likes her, dating back to when she was a news anchor. I also figure she can’t possibly know everything about all the good jobs that she has had. It must be who she knows, not what she knows about all of those jobs.
Either that or sleeping her way to suk=cess
or rewarding failure with suk=cess
OBG IAaL,..way the shit goes (woo powerful weed nightshift) conclusion
Seems like the Argus is no longer a newspaper but a prospectus. Several pages of questionable meaningless brochure meant to attract unsophisticated investors.
Ol’Bubbleguts, I have suspected that about Jodi ever since she became a Chief of Staff. It does get really tiresome to see the huge pictures of these three people in the Argus on a daily basis. You would think if they had that much extra space, they could find something worthwhile to report on. It’s getting to the point where I refer to the Argus as a scandal sheet(the ones sold on the news stands in the stores.)
