Groundbreaking (looks like a lot of city employees got to take an afternoon break)
PRESS RELEASE for IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In 2016 citizens organized an effort to hold the Sioux Falls administration accountable. We were asking questions. No one wanted to answer. To this day no one including the mayor of Sioux Falls Has adequately answered the most important question, “Why is this building so important?â€
No one was or still willing to question the need for this building. So As the building is constructed we will be more involved in over seeing the process. We citizens Of Sioux Falls want a fiscally sound government, not a government operated on a high interest credit card.
In April of 2014 the Sioux Falls City Council was presented without notice a building plan. This plan was rejected several times by the City Council. The only person who insisted on this building was the mayor of Sioux Falls, Mike Huether. The Mayor set the stage for a final act of defiance toward the citizens by pushing this building onto our infrastructure budget.
We wish to thank five of the eight members of the City council who opposed this building. For the lack of one vote to override the veto, we could have had a sane and clear meaning to this building.
As of now, we will have another dent in our credit without roads to drive on.
