A new reporter at the Argus Leader, Jonathan Ellis, reports that the "political establishment" and "elite" of Sioux Falls were the big losers in the rec center vote:
The city's political establishment was behind it. A who's who of the city's elite recommended it. The business community wanted it.
Voters, however, weren't buying it.
Tuesday's electoral thumping of a $32.3 million rec center was the sort of nightmarish result that can put a politician in a cold sweat. Voters overwhelmingly rejected the measure, 12,336 to 6,435.
