Commissioner Dean Karsky

What started as an upbeat briefing on the outcome of this year’s Sioux Empire Fair ended with the ejection of two residents from Tuesday’s Minnehaha County Commission meeting.

Commission Chairman Dean Karsky asked a sheriff’s deputy to escort Gary Meyer out after Meyer refused to yield the microphone when his five minutes of public comment expired. His wife, Cindy, followed him after taking the microphone and saying, “What a s*** show.”

“I told you you’re done,” Karsky said as she continued to try to address the commission. “You’re not going to start out comments like that.”
