We were told that they were going to put on clinics for poor kids (because you know, those kids are flocking towards the sport. Soccer? What’s that?) But all we have seen so far is reduced hours, and a blockaded parking lot when major events are happening at the Sanford Sports Complex;
SHEELS IcePlex and Huether Family Match Pointe Presentations by Joe Zueger, Ice Sports Association; and Bill Townsend, Sioux Falls Tennis Association
Love how this presentation was buried in the Public Services. I suggest the councilors on this committee ask for the money back, no, demand it back, before the presentation is even given, and send them on their way.
Whether you are for or against giving public money to any special interest sport group, is a debate for another day. What is ludicrous is that tax dollars were given towards a building that a sitting mayor puts his name on. It’s extremely unethical and should have never happened.
