What a stupid news story.

(Paraphrasing the Fox23 piece) "Tulsa may find a way to fund roads by getting a much needed half cent back from the state!  Now lets quote a bunch of idiots who don't like construction cones."

That would be like a news story saying that the State just passed $500 million in increased funding for schools, higher test score standards, etc..  And then going to 4th graders to get some quotes saying how much they hate homework and tests.

If they get the half cent from the state, this is good news, end of story.  No dark side to it.

I found it interesting in one TW article the  other day they stated that because of rising oil prices and the rising cost of asphalt, the cost of street repair and such has almost doubled over the last 3 years. Thats quite an increase.
