What Does it Mean To Be a “Big League City”?
Listening to debate at city council today, I heard one person argue that if we want to be a big league city, we need to allow large digital billboards like those seen in other big cities.
Councilman Sam Bowman made the following suggestion, one I’ve not heard before, which might be applicable to every argument that says Oklahoma City should do something because the other big cities are already doing it:
“Let’s be a big league city by being a standard setter. Let’s do it right.”

Well this isn’t a big league city issue. This is an issue with OKC’s codes being antiquated and completely out of step with the reality of American cities in 2010. We think electronic billboards are bad. We should be debating whether or not the electronic billboards or bad or if perhaps we should change our thinking on that, not whether we want to be a Big League City or anything like that.
Sam Bowman is a class act though. Just wanted to add that.
