AGAIN, I'LL POST IT FOR THE 217th time!
MAPS 3 isn't an official campaign yet folks. It was unveiled to the City Council just last week! Right now all MAPS 3 is, is a
CONCEPT! The City Council is still reviewing the up front details for crying out loud!
They don't even vote up or down on it until Sept. 29th! Gripes, you want details when they can't even legally promote it yet! Cry me a river folks who want instant grantification and act as if we're entitled to answers to everything immediately. If the council approves it (extremely likely),
THEN the OKC Chamber can (and is the legal entity) that can promote it and talk details!! DETAILS ARE COMING FOLKS, LET PEOPLE DO THEIR JOBS! ....FYI, original MAPS details weren't in abundance until AFTER the vote. That's how these things work folks. You don't start building a house without financing in place, same goes for massive projects like this, you dont' spend more money on consultants, surveys, utility analysis', site selection, etc. until your funding is secured, then if it passes, there are safeguards in place to make sure resources are maximized.
No it wasn't, even I remember that and I was early in high school at the time. Heck, if we did that, we'd get no where as a city. If each interest group had their own item on the ballot, and the entire city population group voted, the majority of the voters (rest of the city) would be much larger than the special interest group and nothing would get accomplished. This is the genious of MAPS. The only way to get it passed is if everyone gets a slice of pie!
