Oil/Gas Drilling in City Limits

[shadows]

In all due respect to accidents among the independent producers one cannot overlook that a city councilor and his father were both killed while working on an electrical operating oil well pump.

The dreamers that think the answer is cluttering the city with pumping rigs are only diverting attention from the money crisis created by the changing from a capitalism system to a socialism system where the working poor are considered the capitalist and the city is now the major employer demanding from the working poor, as capitalist, the resources to sustain a high paid non producing group of desk jockeys.  Let them drill but restrict taxing food products and rely on the production to offset the loss of taxes.

In the city's conversion to socialism think how many years it would have taken to clean up the city in the ice storm of 07 if the citizens had to rely on the pot hole crew to have done the job.

This one died.  It was a little ways outside the city.  May have been 1 1/2 years ago.  Was big news in OKC for about two days.

An odd sounding posting above, but trust me, the oil wells in Stillwater, while not very numerous, aren't too bad to have around and a good reminder of Oklahoma economic culture.
