I vote we build a gigantic airport in Stroud that is capable of handling international and large cargo (ala Alliance in the DFW metroplex).  Then link Tulsa & OKC with high speed rail.
Live Generous.  Live Blessed.

Alliance won't last another year I bet.  AMR is talking about shuttering it because of the bankruptcy.

If the family who owns the private University would deed the University to the City, who has taxing powers, then the middle man would be cut out.  Our should the City of Tulsa deed the City to the University who has a long running policy of influencing the governing body of the City.

The governing bodies of the City have a long standing desire to fill the flood plain enabling them to build the third runway in the flood plain.       


Okay...what?

I've given up...I obviously don't have the Super-Secret-Shadows-Decoder-Ring.

RM has it, there is can be only one.

There is a lot more to Alliance than just the AMR maintenance base.

I have some more rings on order.  Will start passing them out soon as I have them.
There are many opportunities available to the possessors of the rings.

Today we stand in ecstasy and view that we build today'
Tomorrow we will enter into the plea to have it torn away.

I think INCOG has a role in flood mitigation, and that federal rules prohibit filling flood plain unless the fill material is taken from that same area.  In other words, you fill one area by digging the material out of another. That came out of a meeting about future development in Mohawk Park, which is part of the Bird Creek floodplain..

The visible Bird Creek flood plain extends to 36 street North.  Federal regulations prohibit fills in the flood plain.  We met with the corps and they said their soft ware on over bank flooding would no be available for years.  FEMA flew a rep from Dallas to Tulsa and the good-ole-boys seemed to have wined and dine him and made sure he did not miss the evening flight back to Dallas.
The dirt at Pork Chop (65 acres) detention pond at 11th St. was placed in the Mingo flood plain South of Pine St. The pond dug at the bottom of the detention pond with out-board engineering cost of thousands of dollars, now filled with water. Total detention; ZERO.
We met with original Engineer who planed the flood controls for 1M.   Total Cost; Millions of dollars of federal and city money.   
Then there is the dirt that washed down stream to fill the creek’s catch basin on Pine that was used to fill the flood plain on the North side of Pine.
Follow the money as the people are laughing all the way to the bank with it gained by the broad federal regulation in filling the flood plain.

I sent the post by striking a hollow log for an Indian to post it with his Atari after they produced the computer language for their toy and one of our major manufactures sent it to Japan who duplicated it under their own brand.   Japan set the no repair policy and established the throwaway policy buying our scrap steel converting it to the articles of war they were planning.  China is buying our  recycling material now at a premium price with three trillion dollars of credit.
