Update: More ‘Ramming down our throats’ at 4 PM

Update: At the meeting Curt said the council hasn’t even seen the appraisal or purchase agreement yet. What’s up with that? Curt also said the project will cost $437 million. Then he cut an old guy off at public input but the next lady wasn’t having it. When are these clowns going to figure out the 1st Amendment?

Well, the administration can’t wait to waste more of the taxpayers time today at 4 PM during the informational;

A Bold Vision For Kids, Families and Economic Vitality by Natalie Eisenberg and Lynne Forbes, Co-Chairs of Friends of the Riverline District; Keith Severson, Finance Chair, Friends of the Riverline District and Sioux Falls Development Foundation Board Member; and Jeff Eckhoff, Director of Planning and Development Services, City of Sioux Falls

NOBODY CARES AND NOBODY WANTS THIS! If the vote were held in November it would fail by a large margin! All this is, is a real estate deal the mayor, his family and friends are cashing in on.

Things are not much better at the regular meeting, they now want to give even more money to the PRIVATE NON-PROFIT Veterans Home. Be curious if they got their poop in a group since this was deferred or if the city’s accounting department just rearranged the deck chairs?

They also have 1st reading to increase our property taxes. And while I don’t think it will get ALL 8 councilors to approve it they will certainly have the 4-5 votes to keep it going up. They will once again cry and whine during the discussion that ‘they feel our pain’ then vote for the increase anyway so they can keep paying the bonds on all our play palaces.

For as much as peeps in this town complain about rising property taxes guess how many will show up tonight and in two weeks to protest this? Probably ZERO. If something frustrates you, SHOW UP and give the council heck!
