I was told while viewing Mickelson’s financial report today (DOC: cyn-a11) that no one in the history of a school board election has anyone raised even close to that amount (Over $20K). All for a job that pays around $5,000 a year. And it is a little startling considering her closest opponent raised $2K, another one spent $350 and the other spent and raised $0.
Besides the fact the itemized list reads like the who’s who of Sioux Falls and developers and almost a carbon copy of her husband’s campaign donor list (but she’s her own lady, except I guess when it comes to raising money, then she needs daddy’s help). Some interesting other players got in the game.
Two Minnehaha County Commissioners donated (one is married to a big developer and the other runs a senior center);
But what is precedent is the fact that ‘Affordable Housing’ PAC gave money. WTF?! What a way to spend their dough, on a school board candidate that has already raised TEN-Fold her closet opponent;
Like I said, while Mickelson may claim to be an ‘independent’ candidate from her husband, reading her financial report tells a different story. This is about Mark and his agenda, make no mistake.
And that’s not misogyny on my part folks, that’s the truth.
Inside KELOLAND will feature the candidates this Sunday Night.
