Did Sioux Falls City Councilor Curt Soehl forget what he used to do?

Curtist the Blurtist was blurting and curting last night at the city council meeting about the proposed GIGANTIC TRUCK ordinance. Kermit Soehl was the only councilor to vote against it, mainly because Curt owns one of these aircraft carriers on wheels. The big argument of the night was public safety and it is pretty straight forward, but Curt wasn’t having it saying that it would cause an economic downturn in DTSF, as if only big truck drivers are the only ones who spend money downtown. It was quite possibly the dumbest thing I have ever heard a councilor say, oh wait, forgot about Countcilor Jensen. But the shocking part about Curt’s vote is he was a former firefighter and president of the firefighters union. I would think he understands ‘Public Safety’ but I guess once you become a insurance peddler those things don’t matter anymore. I hope Curt runs for mayor, he will end up DEAD LAST!

INFORMATIONAL MEETING

At the informational several folks with Sioux Falls Sustainability(?) made comments about the building codes and how they need to focus on energy efficiency. I have heard several stories about newer apartment buildings in town with little to no insulation. One friend told me his mom was paying $150 a month in heat in a 800 square foot apartment. If that apartment was properly insulated and in the center of the building there should be little heating costs.

These are the kind of morons running our state

Want to know why South Dakota is dead last in almost every economic category, because we have morons like this running our state government.

While I understand State Auditor Rich Saddass is a proud Repug, why would you share this stupid meme that has been around for years! I also like how the quote perfectly describes Donny T., you know the convicted felon, rapist, adulterer, and racist running for president.

Instead of sharing awful memes that have been around for years, maybe you need to do your job and turn over Noem’s nail and hair salon receipts. The story in Pierre is that the AG told Saddass turn them over because he had no legal authority to hide them from the public. While I am not sure if that convo took place, we know Mr. Jackboots isn’t a big fan of Noem ever since she handed him his ass in the primaries after he tried to cover up sexual harassment at the DCI.

While some may think there is a tropical island that is actually floating garbage, the real GARBAGE PIT is in Pierre.

When I worked at the Pavilion, the comedian Carrot Top came and when he was setting up his props on stage before the show he asked if I could help him with a punchline. He asked me, “What is the most white trash city in South Dakota?” I laughed and said, “That list is very long sir.” He says, “C’mon, there has to be a town that is the most white trash.” I giggled and said, “Fort Pierre.” He used the punchline and it got gobs of laughs.

Delusional

I like how the debate started; Trump is a racist.

I was enjoying a beer with a friend the other day at a local watering hole and we overheard people talking about the presidential election, and my friend says to me, “I don’t have time for people who are still undecided.” I said, “Heck, I voted 2 weeks ago.”

Speaking of early voting, I have been doing it for around 15 years because I got tired of musical precincts and trying to figure out what polling place to go to. I vote in every election so the polling places change depending on the government entity. It is super annoying and something that needs to be fixed because I think it has contributed to low voter turnouts. Either way I had the (mis)fortune of getting our auditor to help me with my ballot envelope. If you early vote, you know the drill. You show up, you show them your ID (and your face 🙂 and sign the envelope. In 15 years NO ONE working the polls has questioned my ID or my signature, then walks in Ms. Conspiracy Theory herself. She looks at my ID and me, that should be enough, right? Not good enough for Leah, she says to me, “Your signature doesn’t match your driver’s license.” First off, Leah knows who I am, why would I FAKE my own signature, I’M STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!!!!! Secondly I informed her that the DMV encourages you to sign your name spelling it out legibly, but I told her, that is not how I really sign my name (though I sign the first letter of my name the same all the time). Now, I get it, if this was a mail in ballot, and they had to verify my signature by viewing my DL image that would be a problem, but I WAS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER! If Leah got her drawers in a bind over this, I have a feeling election night in Minnehaha County is going to be a nightmare. Is it November 6th yet?

Sanford updates wellness patrons

So Sanford sends out updates to patrons and this was their latest;

The City of Sioux Falls Parks & Recreation department continues to take necessary steps to finalize the purchase of this facility. We understand you may have seen news regarding the pause of the aquatics bond, which originally included the Tea-Ellis purchase agreement. The decision to pause that bond does not impact the sale, and we remain committed to working closely with Parks & Recreation to transition operations from Sanford to City of Sioux Falls no later than Jan. 1, 2025.

Yeah, this deal was inked over a year ago, but nice excuses.
