I’m hearing rumors today that the Public Assurance Alliance that insures Sioux Falls and other SD municipalities is looking to add a policy that would secure legal expenditures for elected officials who may have legal expenses due to ethics complaints.
The Alliance already covers city employees (non-elected officials) for these things, but would make an extension to those elected by the public.
You already may know my opinion on the matter.
If this is true, stay tuned for further commentary on how I oppose this taxpayer expense.
