So are they advocating for it for the good of thier own pocket books or for the good of Sioux Falls. I believe this event center and this plan will be a great financial strain on the city and it's basic needs, police, fire,streets will suffer to keep this white elephant funded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061872101082544823.post-6936030295393954772011-11-02T18:14:26.851-05:002011-11-02T18:14:26.851-05:00Take it easy on those BIN folks, Jen.

Let me break it down for you as to why you don't see many of them:<br /><br />Sullivan: Isn't from here & doesn't live here..he's hanging in Florida where the action is and people don't have to beg, borrow and steal to replace a simple scoreboard. <br />Amdahl: I'm sure he's buying up as much lumber and steel as he can get his hands on. Since all of those things are going up faster than the price of Gold according to them, it's time to hedge. <br />Kelley: He's busy selling concrete panels to places like Sanford, also buying trainloads of raw materials to sell back as they appreciate double digits next year per BIN propaganda machine. <br />Ellerbroek: She's busy inventing economic impact numbers ($40 million in NEW spending..WTF??) and pouring overpriced Jag bombers to trust fund kids. Also picking out colors for soon to be announced McNally's North. <br />Kampeska: He's busy running a hospital and trying to figure out where a non-profit can spend all its profits. <br />O'Brien: same as Kampeska and also returning fan mail for the real Pat O'Brien.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061872101082544823.post-61759998267635580252011-11-02T16:13:10.678-05:002011-11-02T16:13:10.678-05:00Who is Barclay?Who is Barclay?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061872101082544823.post-79726000115141423552011-11-02T14:57:42.092-05:002011-11-02T14:57:42.092-05:00The Mayor can advocate for the plan.

In any event, it is pretty clear to most people that the Mayor stepped over that line, it is just unclear who or what can be done about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061872101082544823.post-47313636185921132492011-11-02T13:39:44.975-05:002011-11-02T13:39:44.975-05:00Build it Now has 55 or so businesses supporting th...Build it Now has 55 or so businesses supporting the event center. THEY have the power to "build it now" with NO help from the tax payers. At ONLY Two hundred nine thousand apiece (the price of an average house) these 55 businesses can purchase this event center for themselves!!! Businesses have to advertise. Think of how much they profit from the advertising abilities they gain for themselves by owning their very own EC where thousands upon thousands will see their ads. The Mayor has already said the EC will not only be self sustaining but will make 1 to 2 million dollars per yr. in PROFITS! Remember that $40,000,000 benefit to the community in added revenue promised by the mayor? Who do you think will gain most of that revenue? THE BUSINESSES WHOSE ADS ARE STARING VISITORS IN THE FACE!!!<br />(Personally, I don't know why they didn't see this right away and forbid the mayor from offering this goldmine to the city. Well, if it's voted down they'll get their chance to put some skin in the game.......that is, if they really believe that it will do what the mayor says it will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061872101082544823.post-22482490891680096102011-11-02T10:11:27.152-05:002011-11-02T10:11:27.152-05:00They don't need to advocate for this plan.
