Tulsa is fortunate to have Kaiser and countless others who have donated money for things every one can enjoy in this city.  I think this is a great use for the Matthews Warehouse.

Holy Cow, look at all the growth on the development page! River development, the Ol Lady, Tribune lofts and Living Arts center and a possible ball park!

Per Urban Tulsa, Kaiser has 45 MILLION shares of BOK stock, currently trading around $52 per share.

His philanthropy won't make him broke anytime soon.

Again Double A, NOTHING to do with the current thread.  Show me where the Philbrook expansion is going to use public money, then perhaps you can bring it.  At which point, you have to show how it is a loss of tax payer money.

Seems to me, even if it is using public money, a museum is a proper roll of government.

Just a complete shot in the dark, but I don't think Kaiser-Francis Oil Company is hurting these days either.

UTW said they gross 1.4M a day.

[Conan71]

Gee whiz, that's only $511 mil a year.

I'd go into that business, but who can afford a pay cut these days?  What, with Tulsa's crappy economy and the Dow so far in the tank...

Buy some BOK stock thats what stocks are for. Working for a business isn't supposed to make you any real money. If your working for someone your supposed to be making them money. One way around that is to start your own business or own stock.  I was always told by my parents as a kid that you cant make money working for other peoples businesses, you have to work for yourself. Plus, work smart and hard, doing just one won't get you anywhere.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Too bad there aren't any.
