UPDATE: During the meeting last night the Chancellor of the Catholic Diocese came up to podium to answer questions. He basically said that the city wants the entire lot (including the building) in 5 years for a construction staging area (to build the convention center). It is always amazing when folks from non-profits come to the podium and tell us the ‘REAL’ reason this is happening. I’m sure it took awhile for him to pull his foot from his mouth and the mayor’s boot from his behind.
The city council in all their ‘wussiness’ deferred the fence to March 4th. Much of the public input tonight was about how horrible of an idea this was and the council knew in all of their weakness if they passed this tonight all Hell would break loose, so they did what a gutless body of government does, kick the can down the road. They like to do this. I call them the ‘Hand Wringing’ council. This is what you get when no one has challengers and they take money from the elitist class. If you think the council works for you, please let me in on the good stuff you are smoking.
They want to have a neighborhood meeting (which is code for we want justification for our YES votes). City government is so predictable I thought about starting an online gambling site betting on their decisions. I would make millions!
But the kicker tonight wasn’t about giving a religious organization worth billions of dollars a fence, it was about a lease deal to take over the property, and guess what that is for? A convention center.
I gotta tell yah Pastor Poops, the Convention Center will fail, HUGE! Why? Because you have never completed anything in the public sector except F’cking things up. You have ZERO leadership skills, and you are kind of a jerk! You are also very angry, which I don’t understand. How is it a family man with a successful business and regular church attendance worth millions can be so stressed? Weird.
So in an attempt to move the shelter the city came up with this complex plan to build a fence.
If I just remove myself from this community and look at this from an exterior lens, it is pretty obvious what is going on here.
It’s not about a fence, it is about the ‘SNAKES’ in city hall trying to shove a convention center down our throats. Any councilor who votes for this will never recover. Trust me on this. Make the BDH pay for this. It is their property and they can do what they want.
A fence would become a DMZ proving city government is controlled by contracts fraud. Fencing in the homeless is abuse not unlike a concentration camp. The Roman Empire was a coliseum and bathhouses meant for the upper class. It failed with an uprising. It’s time, before a revolt, to consider the population instead of just a few millionaires.
“…. How is it a family man with a successful business and regular church attendance worth millions can be so stressed? Weird….”
Well, I once had a cousin tell me that in this situation, then make sure to check the closet.
Plus, with Rhoden or Jackley as the next governor in ’27, causing Dusty then to be forced to stay in the House and chase the dream of being Speaker one day, and with Rounds safe as long as Noem is in the Cabinet, and with Thune playing “Leader” for sometime, then what is a guy to do after ’26? If you are an up-and-coming Republican, that is? Would he like to be State Auditor or Treasurer? How does the PUC sound to him?
The Biden withdrawal has had major implications for many on both sides of the aisle and especially in South Dakota.
don Kearney a scam
Issues like this become little more than background noise when Sierra and Tim step to the microphone. They bitch and moan about everything every week. Hard to take them serious on any issue.
Sierra is all over the map when she speaks, One minute she loves the mayor, the next she hates the mayor. Then she either hates or loves the Police Chief. Now she has been attacking the residents in specific neighborhoods, and has been attacking the tenants of the Tzadik Properties. She cant make up her mind for sure. Tim is at least consistent in his diatribes and often makes good points that are legitimate and accurate.
funny, no media outlets reported the diocese’s remarks on this. they are already on board to push a new convention center.
“He basically said that the city wants the entire lot (including the building) in 5 years for a construction staging area (to build the convention center).”
But JEchhoff told us that it was the idea of the diocese that this lot would pass to City ownership “if” BDHH were to leave that location.
After this truest and most honest of confessions, was the wince of Progressive Paulie noticable on Mayor cam; and his groan audible on the live mic?
Imagine the fat stack of taxpayer cash Progressive Paulie will use to encourage BDHH to leave that location?
Whose brother in law owns the property? Why is the city paying $70k for a fence? Should taxpayer money be used for improvements on private ladder.
‘Progressive Paulie’ sounds like a cartoon character who would have made cameos from time to time in Rocky & Bullwinkle episodes:
