Thanks, Mark. I stand corrected. There's an interesting post on Batesline about the split in the local Republican party over the river tax issue. Regardless, I'll still vote in favor of local schools rather than the far more distant park.

The Owasso Bond vote is to continue taxes at their current level, it is not an increase.

Even as a Jenks resident, ready to take advantage of a world class park system right in my back yard, I couldn't agree with you more. In addition, I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around why Tulsa county residents need to up their sales tax to almost 9% to pay for development that I believe could be managed by private investment. I have friends that have transplanted from San Diego, for the sole reason of being able to afford a new home, and even they never had to pay such a high sales tax to live in a city with sports stadiums and one of the nicest parks I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. I won't lie, I'm not an expert in city planning or budget, but I do know there's something wrong when this city can't develop without raising our sales tax to something that even ex-California residents scoff at.
