Sioux Falls

Sioux Falls has jobs, but not for potential immigrants

Once and awhile, my commenters point out some peculiar points, long time commenter Rufusx said this today;

lewis – I am not in the US currently, so I cannot watch or access ANY PART of the city’s web site(s). I inquired of them as to why, and they told me they block all access from outside the US. Nice, huh?

Not sure where Ruf is (maybe China?) but found it interesting that a city that likes to tell the rest of the US we are so cool and great wouldn’t allow it’s website be accessible by foreigners? Well, you know that foreign press, they can be pesky. MMM must still be mad he could not use his credit card in Germany.

Smoking Bad, Beer Drinking Good!

As the mayor is set to chew all of our butts (no pun intended) about smoking, he is taking the EC siding settlement money and building more beer coolers and expanding the junk food kitchens at the facility (Item #1, Consent Agenda).

First off, it is hypocritical to expand drinking at the EC while banning smoking. And secondly, we should have used the settlement money for what it is for, fixing the P.O.S. siding.

Still waiting for the City’s Risk Management department to tell us tearing out a 90 foot load bearing wall was an ‘Act of God’.

When is this mean streak towards us from God gonna end? She must still be mad we didn’t vote for Hillary.

The Interstate 229 (I-229) Corridor through the City of Sioux Falls carries commuters and tourism traffic, provides access to the ever expanding east side of this thriving community, and allows direct access to downtown. The I-229 Major Investment Study will allow the City of Sioux Falls, the Sioux Falls Metropolitan Planning Organization, the South Dakota Department of Transportation, adjacent landowners, and area users to help determine the vision of the corridor. The I-229 Corridor Study Team will be using technology on this project that will allow us to distribute traffic in a manner that better mimics how delays during peak hour periods change driver behavior on our arterial streets and on I-229. Please become engaged in helping the study team work through this complex and dynamic study to learn what I-229 will become over the next 20 to 40 years.

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.
