We went to another one of our favorite Sioux Falls citizen advisory boards on June 30, 2016, the Board of Ethics or is it Unethics? You know the one where the mayor runs for cover when he wants to punish his political opponents, reward his supporters or wants to put his name on a city building.
You see this is the citizen board where a mayor can appoint his friends to give official sanction for questionable behavior of a city official. We have watched this board be sanctioned by the State of South Dakota Open Meeting Board. Do you know how bad an ethics process can be when state ranked 2nd worst in ethics tells the city to clean up its act?
We watch this short meeting to see how the members perform since out last meeting video was done in 2014 when the Chair of the group and Mayor were brought up on charges. Since our last visit a Council Chair was allowed to be on a board with business before the city and two council members were told they should not be political or something like that.
It makes no sense and yet it does.
