So again, TIF screws the public schools in the worst way possible. Not only does it take a HUGE area of land -- land which would have appreciated anyway, and lock the taxes for the next several years, it also will suck the life out of other areas, thus lowering those property values, and dinging the schools a second time.

I'll bet that even the majority of OKCTalk members look at the three letters -- TIF, and think "Gosh, that's political stuff, I hate political stuff, it doesn't effect me, and it's just so negative."

This state could truly be great if the people would just wake the eff up and stop allowing politicians from stealing their constituents' lunch money. It won't happen though.
