KSid radio announces the beginning of the end

Local radio magnate KSID announced on it's website that a deadline to challenge the beauty police has come and gone. As early as next week, we will get a grip on the throats of specific businesses who will face the grinding wheels of justice at the hands of a special prosecutor who will go after unspecified businesses.

My guess is that Mr. Filsinger and Mr. Van Natter are the chief targets of Councilman Mark Nienheuser, (D-Cabela's). It is only in punishing long-standing businesses in this manner that the beautification police can create the kind of business climate that let's Cabela's take advantage of it's shiny 17 million dollar shareholder meeting convention center. Do they even pay for the use of the school for these meetings?

I digress.

The nature of these people's business will come to a head shortly. Will they be able to do their business as they have been allowed to for years, thus continuing to enjoy a tacit right, or will the city shut them down without providing compensation for the adverse affects on their businesses. I don't know the answer, but I do know at least one of the businesses plans on not going quietly into that good night.

Here's to the beautification police.
