Democratic mayor Huether structuring programs to avoid disclosure to the public

from the Argus Leader:

According to City Attorney David Pfeifle, state statute requires all contracts valued at $25,000 or more go before the City Council. In this case, the city’s Community Development department paid a web developer about $24,000 to build the site. It then entered two separate contracts worth about $8,000 and $3,500 for kiosk and billboard advertising.

Community Development director Darrin Smith said last week that they kept the campaign from the council until the launch to prevent plans from being prematurely leaked to the press and public. Smith did not immediately respond to a request for further comment Wednesday.

“they kept the campaign from the council until the launch to prevent plans from being prematurely leaked to the press and public.”

So under this philosophy, is Huether’s campaign for Governor going to consist of him saying “I can do what I want?”

I look forward to his fellow Democrats who decry secrecy in government calling for his resignation.

  1. South Dakota Governor Mike Huether will he switch parties before or after his term as Mayor of Sioux Falls is up?

  2. Under Governor Huether I wonder if we would see the Welcome to South Dakota signs at our border include a photo of the Great Leader? Entrance to Badlands National Park? Mt Rushmore and other tourist destinations and events such as the rallies?

  3. fiction writing isn’t as easy as it seems, is it. but you anons are making some great efforts here.

  4. There is no disclosure on anything in South Dakota. Interesting just because he is a democrat you call that out. Repubs vote year in and year out to keep transparency out of state government. Pot meet kettle
