I gotta good laugh today. I guess (and someone tell me if I am wrong) there is a sign at the Sioux Falls airport at the luggage terminal welcoming people. The sign has a picture of Mayor Huether on it.
Someone told me today that someone pulled a Banksy and covered the picture of Huether with an image of Staggers, and it took a couple of days for someone to catch it.
Not sure if any of this is true, but if it is 1) it wasn’t me and 2) It’s really funny.
This is the letter from the State’s Attorney’s office.
While it is a bit technical, it is informative on some levels. Read it a couple of times . . . Gawd knows I had to.
‘Stop listening to the BS. Start watching the actions.’
The Argus Endorser did an interview with Dr. Kermit Staggers, gotta love the quotes;
“For the most part I do not watch the City Council meetings because I generally know what the result is going to be,” he says.
That is one thing I have said about city government, very, very, very predictable.
Staggers sidestepped a question asking him to grade the mayor and City Council on its performance during the past seven months.
In response, he pointed to what he says is a surprising amount of antagonism between Huether and the councilors.
“I’m kind of surprised about the tension between the City Council and the mayor,” Staggers says. “There’s always some tension just because they have different roles and powers. Some of the new members have been very aggressive, and I think that’s OK. They need to get out and find out what’s going on in city government.”
Good for Kermit, the Argus and their stupid f’ing polls, and ‘Grades’ What is this? Elementary school?
“I tell my students at USF, forget what a politician says,” Staggers says. “Just watch how they vote. That’s the most important thing.”
Isn’t that the truth, just look at our current Mayor, Chatty Cathy.
I will be in attendance. I can’t wait to see the Mexican hat dance performed by the city.
Unlimited Government
By Dr. Kermit Staggers
Most Americans would probably agree that the 6,700 words in the U.S. Constitution provide for a limited national government. After all, the Tenth Amendment explicitly declares that all power not given to the national government is reserved for the state governments or to the people. By taking this amendment seriously, it becomes obvious that the amendment give the states an enormous amount of power while greatly restricting the power of the national government.Unfortunately, the Supreme Court and the lower courts by their rulings have generally ignored the Tenth Amendment while consciously allowing more and more power to be centralized in Washington, D.C. Instead of having a limited government, the country continues moving in the direction of having an unlimited national government. The most recent example of this trend is the passage of the so-called Health Care Reform Bill which further centralizes decision making power in the federal bureaucracy. Many people, including judges, do not realize that the purpose of the U.S. Constitution is simply to serve as the rule book for how our national government is to operate. In establishing the rules, the Constitution delegates eighteen powers to the national government and establishes the structure of the national government with its legislative, executive, and judiciary branches. This is what our Constitution (rule book) is all about. The Constitution establishes limited government.During the process of ratifying the Constitution, critics of the Constitution argued that there were no protections for the people in the event the national government violated the rule book. In an attempt to remedy this problem, the remaining nine amendments were added to the Constitution to protect the American people from an oppressive and arbitrary national government, plus the Tenth Amendment to protect the powers of the fifty states.Unfortunately, these protections were not enough because over the course of 221 years judges, presidents, legislators, and bureaucrats have been very creative in their fudging on the Constitution (rule book). As a result, some people have concluded that for all intents and purposes we have unlimited government in the United States of America by asking the question: Is there any area of life that is beyond the reach of the federal government?
