Sioux Falls City Councilwoman Theresa Stehly on a tear in comment section.

Pat Powers

Get out your popcorn.

So, Sioux Falls City Councilwoman Theresa Stehly apparently didn’t care for the cartoon I reposted the other day from the Dakota Posts facebook page (because I found it amusing).

Theresa is certainly allowed to not have the same tastes. But then she made it weird…

I’m not sure what the council meeting she was going to had to do with someone’s cartoon, but she immediately made a leap in logic to what seemed to be a paranoid theory about myself, TJ Nelson, and the Mayor acting in collusion …to poke at her in the comment section?

Um.. Okay?

That came at about the same time she started to grind an axe against fellow councilor Christine Erickson on a post from January 2017:

Obviously, you can see my reply.

Shortly thereafter, back on the cartoon post, Troy Jones (an actual constituent of hers) jumped in to give his two cents worth:

And we’re off to the races again.

So, after claiming I’m somehow in a comment plot with the mayor and his staff, and monitoring Councilor Christine Erickson’s whereabouts in 2017, Theresa now started to attack & accuse Troy of working in concert with council members to attack her stances. And claiming he’s somehow angry.

I’m not sure why Theresa thinks everyone questioning her positions is working with alleged enemies on the City Council. Or why she thinks they Mayor & Councilors are plotting against her. But I don’t think she’s earning Troy’s vote next time out.

Regardless, it’s entertainment on a winter evening.

  1. Pat..I invite all your friends to read the entire post you are referencing. Most of the dialogue was with Troy Jones and his concerns with my approach to issues.

    My last post was a request that he reach out to me in person to express his concerns. Speaking to a person can be more effective than speaking about a person. That’s why I frequently communicate my concerns directly with my colleagues and the mayor.

    Had I not wandered over to your blog Pat, I would not have heard his concerns.
    As far as Christine Erickson not attending our HyVee event, you had her attendance as a featured current event headline with other current articles concerning me and the mayor. Councilor Greg Nietzert and I attended. Christine did not.

    I have invited her to each of the other citizen meet and greet events. She has not been able to attend any of them.
    Thanks for your fairness in giving people a chance to respond on your blog.

    1. Maybe the cost of extra law enforcement can be take out of the sales tax revenue generated for the city of SF from all the out of towners who spent money in SF.

    2. It truly is a disgrace to the city of Sioux Falls for you to ask the Noem campaign to reimburse SF for the 20K it cost to have the POTUS in SF, whether is was for a fundraiser or other event. Having the POTUS in your city brings in much more than 20K in sales tax and publicity. It wouldn’t surprise me that in the future the President may choose a different town in South Dakota to visit based upon the your request and comments.

      Obama came to South Dakota twice and chose Watertown both times. Yes, he did go to Sioux Falls on one such visit. I didn’t hear of Watertown asking for reimbursement when he was candidate Obama, nor did I hear of Sioux Falls asking for reimbursement when he was candidate Obama. Why, because it is special to have any President or Presidential candidate come to your town. Not only special, but economically beneficial also.

      1. First off, 20k in sales tax and revenue for the city for this event? Not likely when it only drew 500 people. It’s apparent you don’t know what you are talking about.

        And second, Obama’s events were public and not private fundraisers. Big difference. My tax dollars should not be used to support a candidate for public office when it is invite only.

        You guys love to tout conservatism until it goes against your will. Get into office, and who cares. Trump is making that apparent driving driving our debt up faster than any president before him.

  2. “speaking in person can be more effective than speaking about a person”

    Pretty rich to hear that coming from Stehly, who habitually spouts I’ll-informed nonsense about other people in the media.

    1. Really rich considering this issue could have been resolved with a phone call or face to face with a City employee.

  3. I did respectfully request that the Noem campaign reimburse the City of Sioux Falls $20,000 for the extra police protection for Her $500,000 fundraiser. I would have made the same request from a Democratic candidate in the same situation. Our City attorney said I could make the request.
    And once again, I always encourage disgruntled citizens to reach out to me.

  5. This is my real name.

    You didn’t ask nice. You tried to shame her. I think your words were something like “just do the right thing.” Well, you are not the arbiter of what is right. Your dishonest hyperbole and calumny makes you wholly disqualified in this regard.

    Her refusal to even acknowledge your “request” is a more respectful response than it deserves. My President came to my town. I am proud to help keep him safe.

    1. Theresa- please reimburse the city of Sioux Falls or the charity of your choice with your city council salary.

      As a constituent of yours, I’m embarrassed by you and your behavior. I didn’t vote for or against you in your last election- but I definitely will vote against you in the next election. Your behaviors are petty and petulant.

      You are an elected official- serve your constituency with some dignity and respect for the institution in which you serve.

      Your behavior and attitude are exemplary why you’ve plateaued –

      -Bless your heart
      Disgruntled constituent

  8. I am blessing him, and you as well Pat Powers.

    Be assured that you are in my prayers. And perhaps you can pray for me as well. I frequently share morning devotions with Mayor Paul Tenkacken..did it this morning by the way.

    It was great to meet you at the Republican convention last summer in Pierre Pat. You seemed like a nice guy.

  9. Just wondering…. Was Theresa’s maiden name Nelson?? The Stace-self-absorption personality dysfunction is likely genetic.

  11. When is her term up? I’m serious- I’m thinking about running-

    Red wave across Sioux Falls- Pat are you still in the sign business?
