Public Service; A waste of time

by

From the Argus Leader;

Jamison said Friday that the request for a review was a waste of time if Ehrisman didn’t feel the councilors had conflicts.”That’s kind of a funny tactic,” Jamison said. “The idea that down the road that I may have to step out on a vote? That’s 100 percent going to happen. I’ve done it in the past, and other councilors have done it in the past.”

I did not realize that Jamison didn’t get paid to sit on the City Council. How honorable.

Kermit corrects his ridiculous statement though:

Councilor Kermit Staggers, who will vote against the measures, said the results of the review reinforce the council’s ethical guidelines. “It’s helping draw the lines a little better for us,” Staggers said.

As I suspected they ruled in Litz and Jamison’s favor. Now there is precendence.

But it does not end here. I received some interesting information today about several of the councilors. I’m going to wait until Monday night’s council meeting before I release the information during public testimony.

UPDATE:

The Argus Leader’s Take. In the comment section:

Oh no! Detroit Lewis, Pumpkin Head, Angry Guy and Cartoon Boy aren’t going to like this. Expect Scotty and the rest of the “Axis of Negativity” (Colonel Kermit Klink, The Wicked Witch of the East and her troll doll partner) to show up at City Hall to express the injustice about this on Monday night.

Gee, how dare a citizen dissents or questions their elected officials, oh my! Funny part is Kermit and Theresa had nothing to do with my decision to move forward on this.

KELO’s story:

Sioux Falls city councilman Greg Jamison says, “The form of government that we have works, people from all different kinds of backgrounds can come together, work together on the council, make decisions and in the end will be the best outcome for the city of Sioux Falls.”

Um, yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh, right. That’s why the vote will be split down the middle Monday night between those whose decisions are influenced by the developers and those whose are influenced by the citizens. We will see how you vote Greg.
