My favorite rulings, that the people were clearly too stupid to understand this.

Looks like former OU athletic team manager came through for the university!

Look forward to the appeal.

Are you saying we shouldn't let the majority decide?

I guess it could be called NIMBY’s vs. Commies

They voted for their city council members...that is our government form.

First, you assume you are in the majority when you have no idea. Secondly, if they voted it still wouldn't represent a majority as few people actually vote.. way less than 50% of eligible voters . And finally, we are a representative democracy, not an absolute democracy.

"Word on the street".. The REAL word on the street is that Elon Musk is building the worlds largest sports training facility in Norman and will include a 100,000 seat arena for OU because Norman deserves it.

See what I did there.

I heard Drake is opening for the announcement.

I never assumed anything. I said let the people decide….

Why would you be against that? That might be the most telling part of your statement.

Obviously, the people were not happy with how those council members betrayed their trust.

Thanks for the civics lesson. Unfortunatly you neglected to mention the initiative petition as a legitimate check and balance on the City Council.
It exists for a reason contrary to the insinuations that it is some sort of radical avenue.
