“I have a passion for working toward the good of the citizens.”  That is the initial response to the question of why Manny Steele wants to serve on the Sioux Falls City Council. 

Steele’s background includes military service and 28 years in the telecommunications industry.  Most recently, Steele finished serving eight years in the South Dakota Legislature as a Representative.

The current financial picture for Sioux Falls looks rosy, but Steele is concerned that the city currently holds too much debt.  Steele comments that currently each citizen of Sioux Falls would owe over $2,000 if all markers were called.  Overall Steele says expansion is good for Sioux Falls, but growth cannot allow us to neglect the core areas of the city.
