Also interesting that this article comes out with a biased negative light for Councilman Walters, and Cornett and others as unifiers. The timing should not be considered a coincidence either, with the upcoming city council election. Funny, too, how I just finished a “survey” call this evening with very obvious inferences to what an upstanding citizen Walter’s opponent is, with Mayor Cornett’s name dropped for good(?) measure, and even a guarded reference to the Tea Party in Oklahoma City. I was not fooled.

Funny how it is only a provincial attitue when it’s south Oklahoma City. The same attitude is not applied to issues raised by those representing northeast Oklahoma City. Really what the mayor and others mean by unity is sit down and shut up when it comes to the needs of south Oklahoma City. In the last bond issue alot of the funds also went to beautificaiton projects in addition to road repairs. How is it the other quadrants of the city had almost exactly the same needs based on the amounts allocated but south oklahoma city only had half? It wasn’t about need it was about political power.

I can’t say that I agree on S. Western not being plowed south of 134th because I didn’t go that far south, but during my outing on Sat. the streets south of 104th and down to 134th between Santa Fe and I-44 were terrible. Of course, my first stop was in Moore and I then came west, and the streets in Moore were nearly completely cleared. It was evident when I left Moore city limits and entered into OKC limits. But, we were the ones wanting out of the house and were out running around in it!

If Walters wants to find out where the snow trucks really went, he can do what former Oklahoman reporter Ryan McNeill and I did in 2006: Get the GPS data from the GPS units on the city snow plows and import that data into a mapping program to see if the proper routes were followed. Using that data, McNeill and I found that the city plowed routes as it promised it would after a 2006 snowstorm. You can read that story here: http://www.newsok.com/article/2986754
