oh, I’ve been there and done that with our state government. Sat across the table from a gentleman at the tax commission who told me the commission would not certify a project unless the expenditure and the profit were both made in the same fiscal year. . . even if the profit was guaranteed to be 10 times more than the expenditure but would happen 16 months later, it would be considered a loss.

gah!

@Plate: I think he means the intersection at 6th and Walnut where you get off the highway.

@Blair: I don’t see who could benefit from forcing the BID money to be spent annually as opposed to saving it up. Who could it be?

Gateway at NW 6th and Oklahoma?? (I’m assume you meant NE 6th) What gateway?

Sounds like our attorney fits in better with the Tulsa crowd and their attorney first in better with ours. Perhaps we should arrange a trade?

Any idea who asked the city attorney to taken a “fresh” look at the law and offer a new opinion? These legal opinions always seem to come out at a time that just so happens to be incredibly beneficial to somebody.

Of course, I am no familiar with all of the inner-workings of the BID, perhaps that is not the case here.
