I think MMM will make his announcement before April 7th. If I was a betting guy, I would say Tuesday, April 4. I still think he is going to announce for US Congressional run, but it seems lately all the right wing squackers in the state seem to think he is running for governor, so I may be wrong.
So why do I think the announcement will take place this soon? A couple of factors. I think Mike wanted to see who was running on the Republican side, and he either KNOWS or THINKS the Democratic challenger doesn’t matter. I think he also wanted to wait until his main man Diamond Jim made his mayoral announcement. There is also the several interviews he did over the past couple of weeks, even one where he did an interview with his ‘bride’ on his bed (living room couch). But I have also noticed some disappearing CityLink YouTube videos lately that feature Mike. He knows from the last time he ran for his second term, it is a no-no to be in any NEW videos after his announcement. He also had to wait to make his biggest campaign speech (the state of the city) on Tuesday.
Maybe I am completely wrong, or maybe he will spite me and announce on April 10th. Either way, it will be soon.
After watching his latest Listening and Learning session, I don’t think it matters what office he runs for, he is not going to ‘play well’ with rural South Dakotans and especially with west river ranchers.
After seven years of listening to him spout the same marketing crap, it’s like a soap opera…. you can not watch for several years and when you come back it’s still the same thing!
Huether created a half billion debt the city can’t recover from. He’s not done yet. He has a pending 30 million he’ll veto the majority council for. His multimillions damage has become a weekly event. Everything he does is unnecessary splurges.
Honestly, he can’t be stopped from destroying what once was the number one place to live. Strong Mayor Charter became a dictatorship. Is it time to relocate to a neighboring city where there’s democracy and checks/balances?
Please, everyone vote against anything he runs for. He’ll be the congressman who advocates WW3 with enemies in the Middle East and Korea.
Let the letters to the editor begin.
