PRESS RELEASE for IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Organizers of the Stop the Funding petition campaign are proud to announce the drive has notarized 5200 signatures of the necessary minimum of 5750. To meet the safety goal of 6500 signatures the organizers are looking for the remaining petition sheets to be submitted.

“Our initiative, the process, and an election are completely legal and valid today and will continue to be valid until the Mayor decides to make it illegal.” Bruce Danielson said to the Sioux Falls City Council August 16, 2016. “We expect the council to follow the law and to set an election date once the signatures are verified. In fact the Council could still set an election without our signatures.”

We ask anyone who wishes to sign the petition or to turn in the petitions they are carrying to turn them into the Stop the Funding office in the 300 Building, suite 106 located at 300 North Dakota Ave where the drive-in and sign events were the last two weekends.

Please turn in all petitions no matter how many how many are on them today, Wednesday August 17 so we can plan our last push event to collect the final signatures.

City Administration Building Michelle Erpenbach SF City Council Sioux Falls Stop the Funding

Sioux Falls City Councilor Erpenbach oblivious to the concept of a democracy

Not only did Michelle throw away her populist hat, she spit on, stomped on it, then burned it;

Councilor Michelle Erpenbach, who along with colleagues Rex Rolfing and Rick Kiley has been steadfast in her support for the new administration building, said Monday she wouldn’t do anything to help Stop the Funding force a special election — whether it’s being the sixth councilor needed to endorse the special meetings or to override another potential veto of the mayor if the council votes to delay or repeal the project funding again.

“I’m not changing my stance – I want the bonds sold in October,” she said. “Your lack of preparedness doesn’t create an emergency on my part. I’m not going to approve a special meeting.”

I guess we won’t have to worry about saying Mayor Erpenbach in 2018.

With thousands of signatures gathered in a matter of days, Danielson said there’s no denying a significant chunk of the city either doesn’t want the new building or at least wants a vote on it. To deny the public that opportunity would be a disservice to the democratic process that could have effects beyond the administration building project, he said.

“It’s going to be their problem if any of them want to run for office in Sioux Falls again because there is so much anger in the community right now about this whole process,” he said. “They’re totally ignoring our concerns. They’re absolutely tone deaf to the citizens.”

Well when you never answer your phone, you don’t have to worry about losing your hearing from yelling constituents. I think the rest of the council should suspend Michelle’s phone stipend, she doesn’t use it anyway.

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

”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.
