Voted!

[Martin]

just got back from voting... regardless of one's stance on the issue it's important to be part of the process.

Andy, I guess that you've never repeated yourself on this forum and I apologize that it bothers you so much. I repeated it because it bears repeating.

I've been a firm supporter of both firefighters and police officers, especially since I have close relatives who are both (although in different cities). I'm not unsympathetic to their wants and needs. I've supported EVERY previous request for more funding, including the 3/4¢ public safety tax added years ago. So I was profoundly disappointed in their unions' very active and very public opposition to this MAPS proposal. They've thumbed their noses at the very community that has supported them so much in the past. And I look forward to the opportunity to express that opinion to the donation solicitor. God knows the unions won't listen.

I probably have, but not as many times as you have this one. It had nothing to do with bothering me, because it didn't bother me. I just wanted to let you know your message had been received. If you think it bears further repeating then by all means I would urge you to do just that. Mr. Neese, please, don't think for a second that you owe me an apology, because you don't. There is a strange irony to this if you think about it. We have supported every previous tax and bond request as you have until this one so it stands to reason that one withdraw of support deserves another.

unless some teenage punks have already kicked them out of the ground and onto the street with their steel-toe doc maartens.

You do have a point.

Wifey and I are on our way to the polls...

This is why we're voting yes--The future of this city:

[andy157]

Us who voted yes can take pleasure in knowing that when we die, we paid with our hard earned money for kids to have things to do and new places to see here in OKC, thus contributing to this cities growth, while the greedy did nothing for this city, but eat, sleep, ****, then die.

We can know we paid for the future generations to have something new.

I love NOT being greedy.

Maybe someday the City will honor your steller citizenship, good deeds, and act of kindness and name the park after you.

#597 in my precinct at just before 5 pm; #600 was already signing in at the table.

Megax would be a sweet park name!

I'll just be happy with dieing knowing I helped contribut to a cities growth with my own money.

The future kids of this city deserve it.

I could care less who they name the park after, as long as we have one. Andy, they could name it after you and I wouldn't care. However, I do think it's more appropriate to name it after someone who actually voted for it.

[jbrown84]

I think it should be Ralph Ellison Park or Redbud Park.


Incidentally, I was #85 at First Methodist downtown around noon.

[betts]

I loooove Ralph Ellison Park. I'd be fine with Norick Park as well, since he was the person who had the vision which started MAPS.

I thought it was "Mega X", which would also be cool. Like some giant Japanese robot.

He's already got the library.

And speaking of Ellison: does anyone know where his birthplace home was? Seems like it should be a historic site if not a full-blown museum.

Sorry that was really off topic.

[brianinok]

Where should we look for up-to-the-second election returns tonight online? The State Election Board website doesn't seem to have a place for today's election.

Oh, and I vote YES!

[Popsy]

Voted YES last Wednesday by absentee ballot. Did not think I would be back from trip in time to vote today, but made it back by six p.m.

[Diesel54]

My first vote as an OKC citizen. I voted yes!

[betts]

Polls are closed. Cross your fingers!!!!!

[purplemonkeythief]

think there's any chance we'll see an official announcement before the 10pm newscast(if even then)?

this is my first OK vote since back in 1989 when I was at the formerly known Central State University , I don't know how quickly we get results here now.

Looks like news9.com has a meter on their home page to track votes as they come in.

Anyone else know of streaming video/election results online?

[shane453]

Oh good! KOCO has streaming video from YES Watch party at cox center! http://www.koco.com/video/21900986/index.html
