Apocalypse now OR later?
“We have followed the city council’s game plan on this project for a full year and are on the 1-yard line,†said Huether. “I can’t believe that anyone would want to quit the team now, or worse yet, want some other players to step in, in hopes to carry it over the goal line. Sioux Falls wants leadership that plays to the bitter end and plays to win.â€
WOW! Sounds dire. What is our fearless (except when it comes to death) leader talking about?
Fixing the 13th most polluted waterway in the U.S.? Nope.
Paying all residents of Sioux Falls a living wage (including city employees)? Nope.
Reducing STDs in the community, and while we are at it, violent crime? Nope.
Filling every pot hole in this town? Nope.
Making sure we become the NCAA tournament capital of the world? He wishes.
Bringing transparency to government? BAHAHAHAHA.
Sorry, folks, you lost at them all. He is talking about a building that city employees may or may not need. A project that could easily be put on hold (thats all the council is asking) for a few more months to a year.
Something that could easily be fixed by terminating one employee, as one South DaCola foot soldier pointed out to me tonight,
“If there is no project, there is no need for a project manager. Fire her and move the engineers out of the basement into her (large) office. Problem solved.”
Probably not that easy, but worth the discussion. Of course, that would mean firing a certain Argus employee who has nothing better to write about to.
