Sioux Falls Mayor Race

Jamison to be on Greg Belfrage’s show Friday at 8 AM.

If the microphone was just a little bit closer I could put catsup and mustard on it and eat it like a hot dog . . .

My Cardinals (who I am still trying to photograph, sneaky bastards) in my Maple tree tell me Greg Jamison will be on Greg Belfrage’s AM talk show at 8 AM on Friday. Tune In: http://kelo.com/shows/show/greg-belfrage/#blog

Jamison will be explaining his ‘Boom Town’ statements.

Belfrage is skeptical, but he is also kinda mis-guided and a Huether defender. His Blog post about Jamison’s bid; http://kelo.com/blogs/the-daily-dose/742/jamison-faces-uphill-battle-in-quest-for-mayor/

Is MMM trying to ‘Huether’ a ‘Wedgie’ on the Snowgaters?

Just reading the  Argus snowgates article and noticed SubPrime is blaming the snowgaters for his inability to order and use them right away.

“Huether said he would like to see them bought and used immediately, but the issue must wait until the April 2014 municipal election…”

Will he use the petition drive as a wedge issue? Sorry Mike, nice try, but here is the lowdown;

1) You allowed Council Chair Erpenbach to CENSOR us during the election meeting, even though YOU are the administrator of the meeting, and could have prevented it, then tried to wash your hands of it in an email to me a few days later.

2) You say you ENDORSE snowgates, but refused to sign our petition to allow people to vote on the issue.

3) The council denied our Spring 2013 election. If the election would have been allowed and snowgates passed, they would be in use by November 2013.

4) The council said that they didn’t BUDGET for a Spring 2013 election or for snowgates, so they could not go into affect Nov 2013. Yet you and the council appropriate and transfer funds at almost every council meeting through resolutions.

Keep pointing the finger Mike, in the mirror that is.

Is Steve Hildebrand considering a run for mayor?

Steve is no stranger to local politics, he helped with getting Huether elected, he was the force behind the BID group and he helped get President Obama elected as his deputy campaign manager. Steve is no fan of Huether and once said to me,

“I will do anything I can to make sure Huether is not re-elected.”

No love lost between the two I guess.

I received an email this afternoon that Steve may be considering running against the mayor in 2014 from a reliable source. I hope Steve commits, it could make for an interesting campaign season next fall.
