Sioux Falls needs my experience and leadership now.

I would interpret it as circumventing the ordinance. The public is entitled to that information, I think. That was the purpose.

I basically considered it a long time ago. I told Dave that if he ran I wouldn't.

However, I'm not the one that asked for the opinion. That would be the person who needs to withdraw it. I don't know what we'll gain if we continue, but maybe it's something that needs to continue so it doesn't happen in the future.

I'm not sure whether proceeding will solve anything.

Specifically some of them are going to have a sizeable bill approaching $20,000 to put in the sidewalks.
