Period.

He's not an impartial referee.  He's a partisan and an advocate for the Kaiser River Tax.

And, he was picked as Moderator FOR THAT REASON.

Afterall, the heritage of the TulsaNow organization is the MetroChamberPots, who never met a sales tax they didn't like.

And, when Mr. Busby tries to Delphi the public forum to favor the Vote Yes Cabal, just what is anyone supposed to do about it, as members of the audience??

Hiss??



I could wave a stick for a week and not hit a fact in that entire post.



It's a FACT that Mr. Busby has two Our River Yes campaign signs in his front yard.

Oh, he must have put the signs there because he does NOT believe in the Kaiser River Tax?

He's a partisan.  Not a referee.

Has anybody heard Ken Busby has TWO pro river tax signs in his front yard?

I offered to remove one of them so he would only have one sign, and thus be impartial.

If there were both Our River Yes, AND a NO RIVER TAX signs in Mr. Busby's yard, then that would be evidence of impartiality.

Or, evidence of bi-polar thinking.

Well I just got back and if Ken Busby was doing anything to help the "pro" side it wasn't working...

Isn't that what the conceptual gathering places are for? Toe tapping fun for a little rough trade on the river. Sorry, but given the history of river parks, I just couldn't resist.

I thought Busby did a good job of moderating.  The pro side was allowed to run over time a few times.  I didn't have a problem with it as long as they could provide substantive information.  I certainly didn't see any bias by Busby toward the anti's.

How NICE of Mr. Unbiased Busby, the proud owner of TWO Our River Tax campaign signs prominently planted in his front yard, to allow the VOTE YES debaters additional time to answer their questions.

How very, very NICE!

Just Swell.

I hope he puts out a third sign in his yard just to make you freak out.

Don't you bears have some rummaging through trash cans to do?
