Cory has a great article about biking:

I have been (trying) to ride everyday. The rain is stopping me today, but Have been able to do it everyday so far since last Monday. It’s about 7 miles one way on the bike trail. So I don’t have to wade through the traffic in SF (which majorily sucks) because we have incredibly apathetic drivers. So it gets to be a nice workout, because I don’t have to stop for lights. I also have been saving $$$ on gas.

One more reason we need to tax advertising in SD

Seems K. Lesnar is in a bit of trouble. They should also make him pay a recycling tax since that’s all that ever happens with that rag.

Seriously, I think an advertising tax would be a good way to subsidize a new events center, and all of our entertainment and recreational city owned facilities in Sioux Falls. Funny how the Gargoyle Leader will beat the Event Center drum, but mysteriously the only idea they have to subsidize the facility is a tax on Joe Six Pack, drinking a six-pack.

An advertising tax makes sense, because businesses that advertise have the most to gain from entertainment facilities in Sioux Falls. Not to mention, it could be rather low, like 4%. It is not a regressive tax either, because it is voluntary (and not addictive like Video lottery).

Hey, progressive leaders of Sioux Falls, are you listening?
