It will be interesting to hear this press conference;
Mayor Huether will address the media and the citizens of Sioux Falls on Monday Dec. 12th on why he did not sign the ordinance.
This ought to be quite the show, complete with tears and stories of his dying father. Ironically, as I have pointed out over the past couple of days, their is NOTHING stopping the entertainment venues, the libraries or even city hall from putting up signs in front of the facilities prohibiting smoking. So why not just do it? Council doesn’t need to weigh in.
Mike is going to use this press conference as an opportunity to SHAME the council. I hope the 6 that voted for the alternative plan show up and let him have it. Like the admin building veto, I think Mike is going to have a rough 16 months ahead of him.
Suddenly, a smoking ban is more important than abortion. Don’t invest in cigars to pass out after you’ve had a baby.
Here comes another ‘Stop the Funding’ constitutional violation. In the end, with another 6400 petition, strong dictator mayor Huether (ie. Putin) will rule opposing the population. We’re denied another vote. Huether will affirm the reputation for the sovereign state of Sioux Falls. When it comes to city policy, Huether is an only child.
