Police Protection for Tulsa State Fair

[Wrinkle]

Parents will find little comfort in the knowledge that there's provisions for catching the person who just knifed their kid, after the fact.

And, remember, it's was TSO who assured all the games are legit, too.

No good reason to go unless you've got a fat pig.

Their emphasis upon safety is underwhelming.

Karen Keith wants to know what citizens are expecting from county government and she wants to affect change where she can.  She's always been willing to listen to my suggestions and those of others.  Make use of this resource we've got at county level.  I don't know Commissioner's Smaligo and Perry, but they seem somewhat open as well.  I just can't understand Perry's total obstinance on this issue.  I see ZERO fiscal reason why the TSD can't or won't patrol the fair.

Spoken like a true campaign manager.
...wait a minute, weren't you her campaign manager?

No Wrinkle just a volunteer and just speaking the truth.  If you wish to view leaders who truly do want to make a difference with cynicism then you are missing out on a great opportunity to affect change.

The original Tulsa State Fair was established as an service attributed to the displaying of product of the citizens on the grounds provided by the citizens and was never intended to be commercialized in a category as a Special Event arena not withstand a for-profit venture.  The city (chartered by the state) annexed the grounds, established by the Oklahoma Construction; to be used for non-profit ventures.  Thus as you indicate when such is used for profit those who are receivers of the profit should provide the security as the county did before the annexing.  It was by agreed authority of the fair boards that the city police department was authorized to answer emergencies on the fair grounds.   The recent event which was reduced to mob control may have many reoccurrences requiring a designated party to secure the people's owned grounds.  Our problem stems from the spin-off of multiplying bureaucracies that want to pass on their obligations to others to protect their own bloated salaries.  "Known; protect our own turf."

I'll apologize, that was sorta tacky. It was supposed to be funnier than it reads. But, did think you had a bigger role there. You did sound/read like a cheerleader, though. Just pickin' up on it.

I'm sure KK is a fine person, have no reason to believe otherwise. But, intentions and real-life politics are not only very different, they have a way of getting one to join the club. Her affiliation with BD doesn't help.

As for change at the County, I've pretty much written it off as a lost cause. Until the state decides another structure is needed, rather than one where commissioners spend most their time trying to avoid each other, nothing's going to change there. And, it's not just big counties.

Thought I'd add that I do believe Glantz may get himself into trouble over this, and I voted for him. Won't again so long as he presses this and the jail deal.
