Another art show, another weekend
l3wis Thanks to everyone who came out to Artists Against Hunger this past weekend, join me again this First Friday Downtown!
August 2016
Not only did the city of Sioux Falls central services break SIRE, now they are screwing up the county meetings.
A few months ago, the county upgraded their recording equipment to record the county commission meetings. They spent thousands of dollars to do it. They contract with the city’s central services and media department to record and post the meetings in YouTube. If you watch the two past meetings you will see issues.
• This meeting’s audio is so bad you have to blow out your speakers to hear it.
• There is NO audio for the first 25 minutes of this video.
So now the city isn’t just screwing up the recording of their own meetings, but now they are screwing up the county meetings also.
It seems anything central services touches turns to crap. And they want us to trust them with vetting a new city administration building. No thanks.
Millions of Dollars spent on the river greenway . . .
And who is using it the most? Pokemon zombies who downloaded the app for free. To bad Rainbow Comics isn’t downtown, now that’s economic development.

For Immediate Release (WATCH KSFY-TV video explaining the drive).
Stop the Funding will hold a press conference Monday afternoon:
Sioux Falls City Hall

The Stop the Funding campaign is proud to announce 12 year City Council member, Kermit Staggers is joining the petition signature drive as Co-Chair. Kermit is the longest serving member of the City Council. Public is invited to attend and welcome Kermit Staggers to our efforts
Stop the Funding is a citizen petition effort gathering signatures to force the City of Sioux Falls to place the funding of a planned $25,000,000.00 city government overflow administrative office building to a public vote before sales tax revenue bonds are sold.
“The Sioux Falls City Council has voted 3 times to not allow this project to move forward. Only through two tie breaking votes and a mayoral veto did the project reach the point of direct public involvement in the process. The public’s response to our signature drive have been overwhelming,†said Bruce Danielson, Co-Chair.
The response to this grassroots petition effort is generating interest across every neighborhood of the city. Each petition contains 20 signature lines and Bruce Danielson spent the weekend distributing leadership petition packets to at least 35 neighborhood leaders.
The proposed ordinance in proper form is as follows:
           AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA TO PROHIBIT THE ISSUANCE OF SALES TAX REVENUE BONDS FOR AN ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE BUILDING AT OR NEAR 231 N. DAKOTA AVE.
         BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA:
The City of Sioux Falls shall not sell sales tax revenue bonds for the construction of a city administrative office building.
