I suspect that as more 5G is installed, this rate will quickly approach 100%.

This is going to give Scott an aneurysm.
I suspect he will make a great governor in the near future.
I assume you believe Paul will run for governor in 2026. As PP has described, ’26 will be an interesting year politically. Musical chairs…
Not surprised. PTH is very well-liked, across the board, in SF. What’s he run for in 2022? Reelection? Something else?
Word on the street is that he runs for re-election.
Paul is a real leader. Even if you don’t ask him, he’ll tell you.
You mean “Emperor” TenHaken. I know a lot of people are impressed with him, but like you, I do not see him as a great leader. He tried to force restrictions upon the city. When the people rose up against it, he backed off. Then he begged Governor Noem to implement restrictions. When Governor Noem told him if he wanted to do that, he could but she was not gong to impose it, he asked the council to do it. The council said no so he dropped it.
It was actually the South Dakota Retailers Association – the most powerful policy and political organization in the state – that got him to back off.
A huge kudos to the SDRA for flexing their sizable muscle and looking out for their members and keeping our economy working throughout this pandemic.
My assumption was the party bosses got him to back off.
The Sioux Falls chamber has much more influence in Sioux Falls than SDRA.
He needs someone whispering in his ear, “Remember! You are mortal!”
Mayor Ten Haken is a good, honest man, and he has been a great mayor; I look forward to a bright career on a bigger stage for him.
Your’e Silly.
Did he sign the email from his PAC? He would have looked at least a little humble by having a “chair” sign the email.
How many people were polled? How were the contacted? I may have missed it in the links.
