Sioux Falls leader sidelined after hospitalization
City Councilor David Barranco rushed to Avera McKennan hours ahead of Tuesday meeting
A Sioux Falls public official and leading contender to become South Dakota’s next state auditor is recovering after a medical emergency earlier this week that nearly cost him his life.
The Dakota Scout has confirmed that City Councilor David Barranco is hospitalized at Avera McKennan in Sioux Falls following emergency abdominal surgery Tuesday, an unexpected scare that kept the Southeast District representative from attending municipal proceedings later that day.
