We had a squeaker tonight, with Owasso Mayor Doug Bonebrake defeating JB Alexander 1040 to 1018. Alexander is reported to have conceded.


Is that good for Owasso?

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

If JB Alexander had been elected, there would be three tea party guys on the council and they would be the majority.  In his position as chairman of the Tulsa county republican party, Alexander purged moderate republicans from the group and even censured two republican county commissioners after they voted to send Vision2 to a public vote.  He claimed to respect the will of the voters yet would deny us the opportunity to decide for ourselves.  Worse, he pushed the censure through when the party didn't have a quorum present and couldn't conduct business. He did it anyway.

My opinion - the man puts ideology ahead of common sense and we don't need people like that in government.

May you live in interesting times.
