Last night’s city council meeting was more entertaining then the Daily Show last night. I even skipped Margaritas with some friends to stay home and watch. Lot’s of barbs and BS. I’ll have to give props to De Knudson, she railed video lottery and her obvious disgust with it. It was refreshing to here a public official really give their honest opinion on the matter. I think it is a scourge on society and costs us more in social costs then what we make from it. But it didn’t stop the pro-video lottery/I heart Mike Rounds lawyers from showing up crying that the poor bar owners will go broke if they can’t open anymore of their fine establishments.
Wah.
Of course, General Jamison had to put down the law again, this time with Kermit. Munson even gaveled him. Too bad Litz wasn’t on Kermit’s side, he could of twisted Jamison’s nose.

Amazing how dependent the rest of the state is on Sioux Falls gamblers. That was the reason Rounds had for opposing the new liquor license bill too. Never mind that the bill they ended up with sucked anyway.
I know they hate us, but sure love our money, especially all we collect from those Minnesota and Iowa shoppers.
I still laugh every time someone from a little podunk town in the middle of nowhere (SF is just on the edge of nowhere)calls Sioux Falls the “big city”. My guess is that if any of those folks actually went to a major city, they’d die in five minutes from overstimulation.
I got a chuckle last night, on KELO they did a story about how the SFPD had to make cuts because of the shortages in police officers. One of the cuts was the ‘Gang task force’.
Now I’m really worried . . . . .
I wonder if one of the other cuts will be no more parking lot meetings with multiple patrol cars?
My little brother is applying to be a cop with the SFPD. He also applied with the Alaska State Patrol, though, so we’ll see where he ends up.
Being a cop in Sioux Falls wouldn’t be too bad of a job. We haven’t lost an officer in the line of duty since John Dillinger was here. Plus, the vast majority of cops I’ve met here are pretty cool.
So does your brother have a beer belly and a mustache? It will help in the interview.
Unfortunately not. He’s still built like an infantryman and doesn’t eat donuts. The amount of beer he drinks will probably grow him a nice belly in ten years or so.
The SFPD only issues mustaches to those of their officers who spend most of their time chasing down teenagers who are out after curfew.
