New poll: Ford Center Tax will easily pass

[jbrown84]

Online polls are by nature unscientific.

I'm aware of that. Metro's initial post did not mention it being an "online" poll.

This vote will not EASILY pass. It is excruciatingly close and everyone needs to vote. All it takes, either way, is 50.1% to win.

We can easily be in the dump-end that Tulsa voted for on the Arkansas River project. Gawd, I hope that will not be so, but, Oklahoma City voters will say what they have to say about following Tulsa's lead about their historically voting "No" on such things. While we've prided ourselves about being different about that and going our own way, our established MAPS way, contrary to Tulsa, this vote may well be different.

Make no mistake, the vote passage will not be EASILY obtained. Everyone MUST VOTE for that happen. If this vote is to pass, EVERYONE MUST VOTE for that to happen.

It is that close.

I bet you $20 bucks that it will easily pass

New poll just released this evening....

Poll Report Popup

Its a good sign, but its way too small of a margin to think that this will just pass with ease. It would not surprise me in the least if this goes 51-49 either way. It sucks b/c I live in Norman and can't vote. PLEASE CITIZENS OF OKC WHO WANT THIS VOTE YES!!

What do you mean you can't vote? Can't you drive to Oklahoma City and vote?

It's okay. Just check the obits for OKC deaths and go vote!

Old Democrat trick.

(I kid.)

[BDP]

... or just hire Diebold to count the votes for you and add any that you need.

New Republican trick.

(I'm kidding, too)

I think this will pass but not by much. I don't see much in the way of concerted effort to kill it.

I've lived in Oklahoma a long time. I have wished that the big money people would do something for our state rather then see them spend money in places like Nashville. Well folks, this is the time for thanking them for doing just that! They bought a team for over 100 million more then it was worth. They have spent millions to get out of Seattle that I can't see them ever getting back in our life time. Most of these teams are bought with the idea of having the team increase in book value over a long period of time. This is about the only upside for an owner. Bennet and company can't be doing this for the money, it's just not there. You have to believe it's for the good of OKC and Oklahoma that they are doing this. If we don't step to the plate today and vote this in, you can forget about money people, no matter local or not, investing in this state again.

Great point!

I was just pointing out the other day how the Gaylords have made their money here and then invested it in Nashville and Colorado Springs.

This is the tide turning, yet David Glover and friends want to bite the hand that feeds them.
