Stop the Funding plans FINAL events
Kermit Staggers and I are hosting a Friday evening and all day Saturday DRIVE IN, SIGN OR DROP event to allow an easy way for petition circulators to submit any signatures they have collected. The DRIVE IN & SIGN event was so popular last weekend, we were asked to do it again to collect petitions and for those who missed it, to sign petitions.
HERE THE AUDIO HERE:
Stop the Funding has received requests from petition circulators to hold a DRIVE IN, SIGN OR DROP event with this twist added. We will have a crew of Notary Publics present to allow our fellow voters to properly file their completed petitions. The event will be held at the 300 Building, 300 N. Dakota Ave. FRIDAY Evening 6:00 to 9:30 SATURDAY 9:00am to 6:00pm
â€If you have petitions with 20 signatures or just one, bring them down because we need them all.†Said Kermit “This petition effort is our last chance to stop the waste of $25 million of your money on a building we don’t need when we need the money to fix our streets.† We are in need of Notary Publics and other helpers, call Bruce at 376-8087 for more information.

Stop the Funding
Should we really be ‘celebrating’ the expansion of a food bank?
You know my feelings on this. While the (business) community bands together to help a food bank charity, wouldn’t it just be better if these businesses paid their employees enough so they can buy their own food? I know we will never totally eliminate hunger. There will always be people who can’t afford food, such as those on disability or the elderly that can’t work anymore. But it is a sad when a working family can’t afford to buy their own food.
On top of that, the ignorance of our governor and state legislature raising taxes on food so we can pay ONE sector of public employees more (a program that is running into snags and not really working the way it intended).
It is time our lawmakers get serious about the minimum wage in our state and raising the wages of ALL workers in this state to compete with other states. Enough of selling us as a low wage state.
Of course some lawmakers still think it is all just a big joke. Our esteemed mayor took that opportunity when he jokingly said this during the above press conference about the administration building (about 6 minutes in);
“I like new and big buildings to . . . I do. Did I just say that? I think building new is better then remodeling.”
The poor and the hungry seem to be just a big joke to some people. Make sure the developers and contractors in this town stay well fed. And while we are planning to bond for a $22 million dollar administration building, we are proposing no wage increases for city employees in 2017. Better funnel some more money through the development foundation so they can give it to the food bank. Now that’s workforce development at it’s best!
Stop the Funding gets some big support!

FRIDAY Evening 6:00 to 9:30
SATURDAY 9:00am to 6:00pm
This past Tuesday evening Bruce Danielson, with Kermit Staggers, in attendance announced to the City Council during the regular meeting the in-hand total of 3,000 signatures collected in one week by Stop the Funding. 1,000 of the signings happened in the 10 hour event held last weekend.
Stop the Funding is a citizen driven petition drive attempting to Stop the Funding of a proposed government office building to be built with borrowed money in downtown Sioux Falls.
“Voters of Sioux Falls have signed their names because the money to fix the roads is going to be spent on a grand office building†said Danielson. “The City of Sioux Falls has plenty of office space in their many buildings to use until our officials learn to combine Lincoln and Minnehaha county needs with our growing town.â€
Kermit Staggers added “We citizens only have so much money to pay for the extravagant and wasteful wishes of the administration.â€
Petitioners need to turn in their sheets to the 300 Building office this weekend so we can get a count. A Notary Public must certify the petitioner’s signature on forms, call or email for other Notary help. If you wish to help with this event call Bruce to volunteer.
Danielson added “Feel free to just Drop in and Help. If you are a Notary Public, we can use your help! Stop the Funding still needs every signature, please join us.â€
Kermit Staggers and Bruce Danielson want to thank everyone who showed up to sign petitions and especially those who were able to take petitions with them to help their neighbors and friends sign.
Stop the Funding still needs signatures with more petitions available for pickup at our ground floor office in the:
300 Building
Suite 106
300 North Dakota Ave.
Sioux Falls
Or
Daily at the west door of the Minnehaha County Administration Building from one of our volunteers.
Call Bruce at 376-8087 for more information or to have petitions delivered or picked up.
