Bochenski running for Mayor

[Cratter]

No vote splitting.

It was Bochenski in a landslide victory.

[gfNDfan]

I hear his first order of business will be to bring back.....(wait for it)

 

THE FIGHTING SIOUX NICKNAME!!!!! yay! 

[gfhockey]

Drain the swamp

[northernraider]

How does a city the size of Grand Forks have all council races be unopposed?

As many people that complain on the interwebs about operations, thought dozens would be lining up. 

[SiouxVolley]

Not often that Grand Forks gets international mayoral coverage.

Can’t wait for my Bochenski Bucks stimulus to come in the mail. 

[CMSioux]

At least they know their budget will always balance - the guy knows how to make money (it's a joke!!!). 

[Prison_Mike]

I hope he gets Brady Murray and Zach Parise positions in his department to get the Money Line back together.

Hearing city bus also cut

[northernraider]

Bochenski meets with McFeland and other city executive staff today. Would love to be a fly on the wall at City Hall

[gfNDfan]

This would be extremely stupid since GF gets heavy HEAVY federal subsidies to run a bus service.   It costs local taxpayers next to nothing and provides a vital service for poor people who have few other options to get around the city.   They can't afford an taxi or an uber - aholes like you would say "they should walk - they're already fat from eating junk food they bought with food stamps".   That is wrong.  Want to see?  Go downtown and get on a bus and ride around for awhile....anytime....yes sometimes there aren't many riders but many times you'll be surprised at the number, nature, and reasons people in our community need a public bus service.   Cutting the city bus won't save local taxpayers DICK but will cost us more than you know.  Look into it Mr Perfect!

[SiouxForever]

Anything Bochamp can do to add businesses and a reason why people should come to Grand Forks minus UND hockey, a few golf courses etc. will be well monitored from the friends from the south. I wish him well, best of luck! GF needs a huge jumpstart. Lotta narrow/closed minded people running that town. Like sh^t, how many vacant businesses does GF have? The answer, too many to count....

I'm a transportation planner in another state and could not have said it better myself

Maybe require respectful discussion should become important somehow...

[SIOUXFAN97]

The incredibly reliable and accurate gfhockey has been the only one to mention that bus service may be cut.

Regardless, cutting the bus service should be seen as an attack on the poorer population in the GF area.

[gfhockey]

Just what happens when your in the know. I know stuff before it comes public. 

[Siouxphan27]

I think instead of busses the city should use hay trailers pulled by zambonis.

the 5G/CORONA thread ruined everything - GLOVES OFF (the corona kind)

plus it's good to speak the truth sometimes

 

[gfNDfan]

so Mr INTHEKNOW....what's your beef with the city bus service?   YOU'D never use it?   of course you wouldn't - you don't need to!   Take a day and go down and see and talk to the people that need to have a city bus service.   If you can make the time - it will shine a light you don't know about right now.   Experience it...and learn how other people live. 

[gfhockey]

I don’t have a beef. It’s just what Knox was saying
