I don't live in OKC but it seems the the rank and file of the Police Department and the Fire Department put their faith in a campaign proposed by their union leadership....................and it backfired on them. It's not the first time this has happened to a union and it won't be the last. A good move on the part of the police & firemen would be to elect new union membership. This would go a long way towards mending fences with the city & the citizens.

A vote for MAPS 3 wasn't a vote against policemen & firemen. No one disagrees that they have staffing problems. It's time for the police & fire department to work with the city & it's citizens to come up with a creative way to solve the problem. Keep in mind that you will catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Trying to defeat MAPS 3 was a vinegar approach.
