Erpenbach proposing Sioux Falls cell phone ban in cars. What’s next?
Sioux Falls city councilor Michelle Erpenbach is often said to be planning to run for Mayor of our state’s largest city. Which makes it quite interesting that she’s planning to propose an ordinance as intrusive as banning cell phone use in cars:
A proposal to ban handheld cellphones while driving faces a bumpy road at city hall.
Sioux Falls City Councilor Michelle Erpenbach plans to introduce a measure Tuesday to prohibit the use of any handheld electronic devices, including cellphones, while operating a vehicle on Sioux Falls streets.
I’m kind of surprised that someone would propose something so intrusive, especially someone who has been mentioned as being a mayoral hopeful. Huether is bad enough, but this puts her firmly to his left.
The thought that comes to my mind is that if she’s going to be this far to the left on what we can do in our cars, how far off is she from proposing limitations on personal ownership of guns within Sioux Falls City limits?
Because it’s pretty obvious that restricting personal rights are not a problem for her.
