He was silent and blew off competitor Greg Jamison that violent crime was rising in Sioux Falls. In fact he got the now Corvette convertible driving retired police chief Barthel to agree with him.
He said it wasn’t an issue.
It was an issue. Mike ignored it, but now all of sudden with a Wednesday hearing on petition drives is looming, Mike wants to change the dialog that he is being tough on crime and meth.
Bahahaha!
Violent crime has been increasing in Sioux Falls for the past 4 years at least, so now why all of sudden, you care. Empty suit. Blowheart. Also, if you care so much why give the FOP a lousy raise? (you know, the people who have to actually battle this issue)
Want to fight meth use? Fight poverty! Promote living wages, promote good jobs. Pay and train our police force well.
So what are you doing Mike? Holding press conferences like you care, pretending to cry. Thats it.
