Watch Sioux Falls Mayor Get Big National TV Spotlight This Week

Sioux Falls Mayor Paul TenHaken and a Sioux Falls teenager are getting a major feature on a popular national morning show.

Some Sioux Falls residents might have noticed some graffiti in the area. Normally, that would be cause for concern or punishment. But instead, Mayor TenHaken is taking a compassionate approach to this situation. This is why his kindness is being featured on a segment called Beg-Knows America on CBS Mornings.

17-year-old Sioux Falls resident Jaden Brunz technically broke the law with his graffiti artwork. But Mayor TenHaken wasn't upset with this vandalism. As an artist himself, he was impressed with this young man's talents.

This crime was being investigated by the loyal men and women of the City of Sioux Falls Police force, until Mayor TenHaken decided to call Jaden into his office for a little chat. Sounds like a huge call from the principal's office...except you're in City Hall!

In a short clip posted by Sioux Falls Mayor Paul TenHaken on his Facebook page, he teases his and Jaden's story on an upcoming feature of Beg-Knows America on CBS Mornings. It's all about second chances and learning from mistakes while discovering new forms of art in our area.
