Once again Kronie Krabbenhoft has sunk to new lows in the “Shameless Glorification of T. Denny” game. Sanford announced the closing of the Sioux Falls Federal Credit Union branch that has been on the main campus for almost 30 years, so that First Premier Bank can open a branch instead. They claim that it has nothing to do with the $400 million donation from T.Denny. Oh yeah… let’s not overlook the fact that we aren’t calling the health system Sioux Valley anymore or that they erected a bronze idol of SD’s richest douche bag on the front steps. Nooo noooo … the money had NOTHING to do with this decision. Never mind that almost 2000 Sanford employees conveniently do business EVERY DAY at SFFCU’s Sanford branch, or the fact that Sanford Human Resources lists SFFCU’s convenient location as a benefit to their employees. It is obvious that the relationship between the health system and T. Denny has become a big evil elephant lurking in the corner of the room, waiting for the opportunity to lift a few more dollars out of the common man’s pocket. It makes me a little sick to think about how obvious the connection is, and they’ll tell you straight to your face that it’s “awful” to suggest it. For shame.

What’s next? When you can’t pay your bill in full at the time of service, maybe they’ll offer you a First Premier loan with a low low introductory rate.

Kinda sounds like they were strong armed. Why are people so afraid of the Unruhites? They are the butt of many jokes around our country. If Measure 11 goes down in flames, as I hope it does, it’s time to give them their walking papers. I have had it with them raiding our Federal treasury for abstinence education, which does not work, wasting voters time, and possibly setting taxpayers up for an expensive leagal challenge. If Leslee and crew want to fight this out in court, I say go for it, just don’t use my money.

 

Cindy Morrison, Sanford’s vice president of public policy, said Wednesday that “the concerns that were outlined in our internal memo remain concerns even though the VoteYesForLife folks were very thoughtful in attempting to alleviate those concerns.”
