A graphic of how much time the citizens of SF have to put up with Mayor Huether.
Once again, Mike couldn’t resist to turn a run of the mill public municipal ceremony into a rah-rah session for himself and the city. I told someone it turned out to be the State of the City Address 2014 – 2.0
After the five officials were sworn in, Mike came down before the podium and put the above graphic on the big screen. Then he had to talk about how great everything is, how the RR will be moving, how ‘America’ will be talking about our city, and choked up when talking about the ‘sacrifice’ his family has had to make for his service (he even included his mother. Doesn’t she live in Yankton?) I guess he was talking about the sacrifice his wife had to make by putting her name down as an investor in a development that received a TIF.*
When he finished, he looked at the audience, and paused while the crowd gave a ‘polite’ applause. He seemed surprised he didn’t get a standing ovation. Then in front of the packed room, he gave his wife a kiss who was sitting front and center (I think I saw some smoke come out of her ears when he kissed her).
Only our mayor could turn a swearing in ceremony into a Dale Carnegie workshop.
*I got word from a South DaCola foot soldier the other day that Mike’s development investments in Sioux Falls are more widespread then we might think, and worth looking into.
I think they should also include the debt counter for Sioux Falls. I’m sure MMM has thought of 100 ways to crank out more debt in this term then he did in the first. Scary isn’t it.
This is the type hurrah you get dragged into. It’s usually something about a lot in a Florida swamp.
When it’s MMM, you should stay & suffer. Keep him important to his imaginary friends. He’ll eventually get the national attention he’s been looking for in federal court.
Does the clock stop when the questionable development deals are compiled?
Only our Mayor would make it about him instead of the councilors that were just sworn in.
MMM, his minion, Director of Finance, Tracy Turbak and semantics
As in the “debt-free” indoor swimming pool
You know, the 20 million dollar swimming pool which will be paid for in part by millions of dollars the Feds reimbursed the City of Sioux Falls for the levee.
All will be part of Mayor Mike Huether’s legacy!!
