I guess Vision 2025 sucks to people who would rather that we continued our urban slide into something along the lines of Tijuana Mexico.

I like to call those people the 'Whirled Whiners'...

Walk around the Whittier Square area, Amigo, or go out east of 21st and Memorial.

You'll think you WERE in Mexico.

Not as much since Nov 1 2007.

true, not as much.  we got rid of the ones that were concerned about being arrested and the only ones left are the ones that simply don't give a ****.  Probably the same ones who turn themselves in at the sheriff's office to get a free ride back to mexico.

The local power establishment has figured that her "brand" appeal has about worn out, and they've groomed Karen Keith waiting in the wings to replace her.

I agree with about everything else you said with the exception of this gross mischaracterization.  

That makes no sense for your oligarchy to pump money into a loser's campaign in the primary.  They could just let her wither on the vine and dumped all their money into Karen's coffers.

Now that would expose their manchurian candidate, now wouldn't it? Randi Miller and Karen Keith are two sides of the same coin. Besides, it would be in their best interest to have both their candidates in the general, that way no matter who wins, they win and the public loses.

Karen is honest and has integrity, big difference.  How much of a bust has 2025 turned into???  Higher education has benefitted, better police and fire facilities in surrounding towns, community centers, YMCA's, some funding for low water dams, and a make over on downtown.

I was not a big supporter of 2025 and quite skeptical.  On the one hand, yes it has resulted in a larger county bureaucracy, which I am not fond of, yet a lot of community updating has come as a result.  Tulsa is looking better for it.

I don't think Karen needs to run from her record on 2025.

But comparing her to Randi???  There is no comparison.  I've known her since her days serving on the Brookside Merchant's Association.  She didn't have to get involved with the community, it was her choice.  She enjoys serving, solving problems, and gets things done.  More than anything, she's trustworthy.  She has a lot of friends from about every corner of the city.  She is not owned.

Lafortune's Spin Doctor, the architect of the Vodoo Visioning process, trustworthy? Thanks for the laugh.

AA, I've met and talked with Karen Keith. Had a little problem with the RPA and she directed/misdirected me. That was her job. I've met and spoken with Randi Miller. Karen is no Randi. Big difference in outlook and attitude.

You have to get used to the idea that in government the leaders have the opportunity even the obligation to be partisan. But the functionaries have jobs that allow them to operate on both sides of the aisle to get things done. Karen seemed to me to be doing her job not playing politics. If that makes her untrustworthy, well, we're all screwed.
