mranderson, If a person truly wanted to run for an elected office in a particular Council ward or a certain senate district, I would think they (you) could always move their primary residence into the appropriate boundry lines prior to the filing period. Now your legal. By the way, my idea that you run against Jerry was really more of a challenge than a suggestion.

I never claimed you to be incorrect. I said you were wrong. And based on your "proves my point that ward 5 does not like Jerry Foshee" statement, I'll stand by mine. Your wrong. You may have once lived in ward 5, but I still do. And have done so consistently since 1954. I will agree there are a few people that don't like Jerry, but I know quite a few that do. Me for one. So, like it or not you are in fact incorrect. Trust me. It does seem that you know a lot of things better than most, at least you seem to think you do.

Frankly mranderson had I voted for Mr. Walters which I did not, I would be insulted for you to suggest my vote was cast against Jerry and not for Mr. Walters. You really should give the man some credit for his hard work and for running a good race. You do realize Jerry wasn't running don't you?

George Washington is a good man,a good husband and father who has served the citizens of ward 5 and the City by actually contributing his time unlike your lip service. Regarding your referring to George as a puppet I could get mad and say a lot mean things but why waste time on the pitiful comment of a pitiful person

I guess I was right by thinking I had read somewhere of your plans to run for City Council. It's true what they say "timing is everything" what a tragic loss to we citizens that the ONLY reason(s) that kept you from becoming a great leader had to occur all at one time.(over a 10 year period). I assure you Jerry is totally unaware of just how close he was to the complete and total pounding he escaped had fate not kept you out of the race.

The "did he beat you up" question was uncalled for and I apologize. Your right I failed to take age difference into consideration before asking my question. Pertaining to the one and only meeting you had with Jerry where you claim he lied to you, since you've not offered any details and as you stated I do have the right to choose if I believe you or not. Not.

I'm not you. I'm glad. I do not have your mind. I'm more glad. Don't care to read your mind, never cared much for fiction anyway. Dont confuse observations with accusations. Your welcome.

MrA, you just got served!

In the eyes of the majority of people, the word "wrong" MEANS incorrect. I am neither wrong nor incorrect. I have been around politics longer than most on this site have been alive, and was taught by numerous politicians how to track (follow), predict, and stage poltical races. There is no huiman alive that can or has the authority to tell me how to do this. I do not "think" I know more than most, I KNOW I know more than most. I learned from people ranging from my dad who handled numerous VERY successful politicians, all the way to the late UNITED STATES SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, the late Carl Albert. Every one of these people taught me more about poltics than any series of University professors ever could imagine.

I could care less about how long YOU have claimed to follow a certain ward. I was raised around these people. I doubt you were.

I say Foshee has been disliked for a long time, and will be wiped out poltically when he tries to run for Senate. I know of no other reason he could have asked for a meeting with me to try and talk me out of running against him other than he knew he could and probably would lose. Did his ploy work? No. He and people like you probably think so, however, it did not. I had already made the decision not to run.

And on your comment about moving into his Senate district. I am perfectly aware that I could move. I do not need a novice telling me that. It happens to be that I choose not to sell a home that is worth three times what I paid for it 16 months ago, plus in a much higher income area than anywhere in Foshee's district.

3X as much over a year and a half?...Are you part of the Make Yourself Rich infomercials?....Do you have ads in newspapers across the country that bring in $20,000 a month for you as well??

Possibly a slight exaggeration there MrA unless your house is in San Diego or Frisco...Good old Oklahoma prices just don't do that....Think you may want to check the credentials of the realtor that told you that

(I say this knowing you have lived longer than I)

GRRRR! OK, let me explain this one more time. Dan, Wayne and Elizabeth are not "anti-development". They are "anti-stupid development". The natural order dictates that developers must try to build as cheap as possible and sell as high as possible. That's just business. Community activists and public servants must ensure that the developers adhere to community standards and force them to build quality projects. That's their job. The balance must exist, or very bad things happen. These three have spent years struggling to ensure that citizens voices are give the same respect as the developers. Sorry 'bout the grrrr, the opposition has spent a fortune trying to convince our voters that these candidates will cause the destruction of Edmond and it just ain't so!

I hope you're right. I'm all for it, I just don't want to see every development shot down by the new administration. Can you give me an example of a development they were not opposed to?

[metro]

But the argument still stands. Pink (pop. 1,165) gets mentioned and Edmond does not???

exactly my point jbrown!

actually Pink is directly west of Norman, SSW of Shawnee. I don't believe this area is counted in MSA populations but I could be incorrect. Either way that wasn't my point. You rarely if ever hear the town of Pink mentioned as a metro suburb ( I never have heard it considered as a suburb).

mranderson, WOW, What was I thinking? Had I not been such a politicle novice I would have known to, and done a little bit more due dilegence research on your extensive background. I never knew just how powerful and well connected you really are. I am truly humbled. And congratulations on your resent financial/real estate ventures. Quite a succsess story coming from a one time dog catcher.

I have never been a "dog catcher.' I was an animal control officer. There is a difference. Try looking in a dictonary or an internet research and you will see.

No exaggeration, nor in San Diego. I do not know where "Frisco" is. The way I got it is private and will not be revealed.

Depends on how you define "opposed". (I know, I sound like Bill Clinton) An example would be the ENA involvement in the Spring Creek Plaza project. The original site plan was developed WITH ENA input. This development is constantly held up as an example of what can happen when developers work with community members to produce quality projects.

Well either you screwed over someone or you are embellishing the truth

Won't say which of the two options I am going with

Congrats on your outstanding investment

Does anyone have a link that shows the results of all the elections around town?
