You can watch the whole Sioux Falls Planning Meeting,
notice how there is almost ZERO discussion before approving the Lloyd TIF. How ironic, our planning commission will horse trade for 45 minutes over the timing of a church’s electronic billboard but spend only a few seconds on giving away a $4.1 million dollar tax rebate to a wealthy developer.
Heck, even after George Hahn came and pointed out their tax valuations were incorrect and the TIF should be deferred until those numbers can be corrected, they still marched forward.
Hey, what’s a few million here and few million there when we are short changing public education? They will just raise taxes on the worker bees to make up for it.
It’s like Los Zetas. If you don’t go along with the cartel boss, they kill your family or at least your livelihood. There needs to be corruption correction. As usual, South Dakota will be the dead last place for this to happen.
:30 of particularly dynamic TIF input from Planning Commission Member & City Council candidate John Paulson. NOT. “Gee whiz, um everyone. As a quintessential get along/go along kind of, um, dull guy, I, um, just buy into all of this hook, line & sinker ’cause it all just sounds, um, so swell and positive and, um, I’m just so glad to live where, um, there ought never be heard a discouraging word, and, um, anyone who questions any of it, um, well, I hope those folks can just cheer up and put on a happy face.”
