Are going to have to wait a while, the Mayor was re-elected not that long ago and half of the Council (3 of the 4 seats were Chamber rubber stamped backed candidates). Think the other half of the Council isn’t up for election for another 2 years??

The city should be able to represent itself without having its name plastered on every amenity. That just seems cheap.

Does anyone know WHY a boulevard is required? Have alternate uses for that land been considered? Should all of it be used for a roadway?

It seems like you’re the only conduit between the powers that be and the common citizens.

How much longer will the camels back withstand??? The entire situation, Core to Shore, Project 180, OKC Boulevard is so fraught with smarmy politics and smoke filled back room deals they all have lost credibility. We have the opportunity to fix the situation at election time.

Sun, 29 May 2011 07:02:11 +0000 http://blog.newsok.com/okccentral/?p=6104#comment-32590 Cornett makes me nervous. I don’t understand his rationale for many of the things he seems very focused on doing; when he’s pressed, he doesn’t give very credible answers, either.
