Ed Shadid records opened | News OK "Ed Shadid records opened"
Interesting to note that neither Shadid nor his wife came to the hearing...
So what's the time line for the Oklahoman (or anyone else) to synthesize those records into a news report. As early as this afternoon?
Exactly, the guy had a 2x4 lodged in the keister over the naming of a blvd, imagine the closed door skullduggery that went into the MAPSIII logroll. Oh, did I mention we'd need a hotel? Great management style- we don't ned no stinking input, my crappy idea is the best. I took a marketing class once.
Skullduggery?

Edgar, take a look at the results of the online survey. Sure, some projects got in that people didn't vote on specifically, but look at the top vote-getters. Hard to say the Mayor and "the Chamber" drove the process behind the scenes.
What is even more offensive to me from the RDR is ES attacks the judge. He said "the judge appears to have made her decision before hearing the merits of the case.” So now the judge is part of this conspiracy to harm ES and his kids. This guy is truly dispicable.
And Edgar, if an article about MC not wanting to hire consultants to help name a street is the best you've got...give it up. I for one would be angry if we had to pay money to help decide a name for a street. It's a street for Pete's sake. Just name the dang thing.
I have to say the most disheartening thing about this election is that my fellow Progressive and liberal friends seemingly have no where to run to. Most of the hardcore folks who believe in Ed and his rhetoric are digging their heels in the ground. Some of them ardently believe he is a Progressive Dem (even though his past demonstrates that he is not). Those who like Mayor Mick and what he has done for this city are shouting from the rooftops. And then there does seem to be a contingent of people who are quietly distancing themselves from all of this.
I suspect those people who are distancing themselves are either becoming disillusioned (which is a shame) or turning into a silent majority that will cast a silent vote.
Vocally distancing myself from all of this. And, yes I for one am quite disillusioned. The transportation details you posted make me feel better (Mick is a foregone conclusion; the progress towards more transit, albeit slow, is comforting. I've just resigned myself to either not voting or heck jus writing in a candidate.
An odd thing about Ed's strategy, from my perspective, has been his decision to latch on to the kind of trendy criticisms of "gentry urbanism" that have been a new feature of municipal politics elsewhere, in a city where only small kernels of urbanism have taken root. How much resentment is really there to be taken advantage of, in a city where urban living is still so affordable and open?
Well he's playing both sides. He's also gaming for ex-urban citizens that feel no connection to DT or the Core. As well as anti-tax folks that hate the whole concept of MAPS.
Well thanks! The reality is, it took a long time for us to get to this level of a mess with public transport and it will take us awhile to get out of it. We just had a Governance Subcommittee meeting on Wednesday and I have to say that it is picking up steam. Mayor Rosenthal of Norman, Mayor Jack Fry of Midwest City, several council members from Edmond, and so on where there. I took a picture and will load it onto the streetcar Facebook page.
Ed's theory of banging his fist and making somebody in City Government to come up with the money simply isn't going to work. This has to be a well thought out, long-term fix.
