Vision 2025...Part 2?

[Townsend]

I hope they added a unicorn petting zoo

Ooo, me too.  I hear unicorn farts are better than fresh baked bread.

[Townsend]

Is there a full list of what will be placed on the ballot?

I didn't see it on the COT site or county.

[Townsend]

NM, guess this is it.  A bit sad I had to look for it instead of it being available on a government site.

Oops, that Tulsa city only....keep on looking

[Townsend]

Oh, here it is?

Maybe on their facebook...


Oh, yeah, there it is.

Good thing all the information is easily found.  No matter where I turn, I can easily find what I'll apparently be voting against.

What do you want to bet that the $12 million for "Expo Square improvements" would go to leveling Driller's stadium and the old health department and putting in more parking lots.

Kind of like the smell of a newborn baby diapers?

Did they ever fix the lighting on the roof of the Expo square from the first Vision 2025?

The lighting is not fixed.  The installation company went out of business quickly after the job was thought to be completed.

That's sad because I liked those lights.

[Townsend]

That's sad because I liked those lights.

So did I.  I lived a few blocks away and saw them almost daily.  Then poof, they were gone.

See where the AG opinion, which carries the same as a court ruling, until overturned by the court, that the extension of 2025 will require a itemized list of where the funds are to be spent with a vote of the majority of the voters on any overrun of any funds accumulated before it's sunset exportation date.

Of course this is the State of Tulsa's (operating under a Municipal City Charter's project) who is going to reserve the funds before they are collected whereas there is no way to project the amount.

The EXPO building exterior lighting was not funded by Vision2025.
