To say I laughed a little when I heard this would be an understatement;
Paul is currently an Attorney for the City of Sioux Falls, primarily representing the Public Works Department though he’s held various roles in the City Attorney’s Office working with Code Enforcement, Economic Development, Real Estate, Civil Litigation, Planning and Zoning, the Health Department and Human Resources.
Paul was the lead attorney trying to convict Cameraman Bruce for a public nuisance charge over his garlic and raspberries in his backyard (they called them weeds). I attended the trial. To say Bengford ‘lost’ the case is an understatement. Judge Cutler ruled in Danielson’s favor. She said something like, “Mr. Danielson enjoys working in his yard, there is no legal barriers on that.” But that was just the tip of the iceberg. Before the trial, Bruce was jailed for several hours on a ‘penny bond’ right before he was to testify at public input at the city council meeting about the whacked events center siding. We don’t need this person as our state’s attorney, we need him out of public service all together.
