I would like to thank all of the commenters and South DaCola foot soldiers who sent me leads and pictures during the events center debate. I could not have kept up without all of you, and you know who you are!

I would like to also put a big shout out to my webmaster. We started blogging together over 15 years ago (yeah, it has been that long- I did the rough math). You have put up with a lot of shit from me, but have always been supportive. Even when I wanted to quit, you talked me out of it. Thank You!
While my tiny little blog probably didn’t influence too many voters, I hope that at least people digested the information, even if it was ‘rumors and innuendo’ 🙂
This isn’t over, I am still on a mission to Mars about transparency in local government. The termination of Debra Owen concerns me, because she was such a champion of this issue. Also, the ethics complaint being thrown out doesn’t sit to well with me either. And unlike Waldo, we will find Shawn Tornow, and his paystubs.
The mayor and I are planning a sit down soon. I hope to bring up my concerns about transparency in our current city government.
I told councilor Jamison that telling the truth and being honest with constituents will never backfire on you. I do believe he heard me. Hopefully the mayor will unplug his ears.
Keep fighting the good fight. Here is your cheeseball video of the day;

Thanks Scott for all your hard work on this!!
The people have spoken.
Be sure to find the quotes of entimen saying that he isn’t going to sell his property or use it for anything other than storage. Maybe Vernon can have his buddies from KELO find the tape for him and use it against Huether when he runs for mayor.
I guarantee people have kept that “on file.”
Great work Scott. I know the mayor likes to put your blog in the ‘rumors and innuendo’ category, but those of us who come here regularly know better.
Why I still wish to remain anonymous? Had a real bad experience twenty years ago to a LTE the Argus published. Plus, you can always count on actions like this. Harmless today….but where does it end?

Poly43 – Maybe I should get a better screen name then. Mine kinda gives me away.
Andy – At least they didn’t put a FOR SALE sign in your yard 🙂
ha ha – that reminds me of a real life incident I had the pleasure of witnessing. Fellow had a sign on his yard one mrning hat said;
“FOR SALE – BY NEIGHBORS”
Andy, more people know me by my “screen name” – actually has been my nickname since 1971 – and I wouldn’t want to confuse all my friends who don’t know my real name.
People know me by my screen name too.
Andy, I think the sign placement is kinda funny. I joked with someone the day before that someone should put a VOTE Yes and a VOTE No sign in Litz’s yard next to each other.
