Never thought I would congratulate one of Mayor’s top minions, but it seems they figured out it was time to bail before the ship sails (or the arrest warrants are issued 🙂

After more than five years of service to the City of Sioux Falls, Chief Project Manager Kendra Siemonsma has announced her resignation effective September 6, 2016.

Siemonsma will become the Director of Project Management for Midco®. The process to hire a replacement will begin soon.

I have a feeling over the next year, you will see a lot of the top officials bailing on the lame duck mayor. So far we have seen Darrin Smith, Head Librarian and now Kendra.

    The Feds wait till after there’s enough public funds fraud and corruption evidence. If you’re chief project manager, it’s possible for you to escape if you leave now. However, you must be witness in the criminal trial. The former mayor of New Orleans is doing 22 years for Katrina fraud. If you’re guilty of bringing down the mutual funds market, years in court and house arrest. Developers walk because it’s just business. Underlings escape but their careers are ruined. The political leader gets Google status but does life and dies in prison.

    For the movie, Danny Devito (with plastic hair) can play mayor. By then, the fifty $1,000 suits wardrobe can be had for 50 cents each.

  4. Darrin Smith I thought was a good man then he wem=nt with slick Mike.
