OKC Mayor Race 2014

He unfriended me.

Perhaps the Catch22 has a spy on his tail.

Saw a ton of ES campaign signs in and around Penn Square Mall today.

In the Right of Way...

Glad to report that Mayor Mick was at the Thunder game last night.........actions are greater than words Ed.

Words formed into the obvious question can cause action.
would you feel better about Shadid if he went to all the games?

'Words formed into the obvious question can cause action.' What the heck does this mean ?

That's the issue, Shadid has no interest, and never has had an interest in the Thunder.....it's only lately he's trying to promote himself as interested...you know, he's trying to get votes....

PSO- Remember! It is illegal to remove illegally placed signs in the Right-of-Way! Call the city's Action Department and ask that they be removed by duly trained citizen volunteers of city Parks Dept staff.

I received a friendly-looking gatefold mailer from Shadid yesterday. It featured a lovely picture of his family -- including his ex-wife. Que? They're walking hand in hand through a park or something. Just found it odd he would include his ex-wife in the photo as if they are still together as a family.

I would feel better if he weren't tweeting weird fatuous Thunder-related tweets when it's clear he really has no interest. There are all sorts of things he professes interest in which are clearly fake interests. I don't see any evidence of a lot of honesty in his behavior.

[soonerguru]

Yep.

My question for Ed is, and even though part of it is theoretical, it could end up being a real issue in the future: Did you support the MAPS vote to improve the arena, did you vote for the sales tax to support the arena, and what would your response be if the owners of the Thunder announced they need a new arena or they will move the team?

We know what Mayor Cornett did to help bring the Thunder here, and it would be hard for any candidate to duplicate his passion for the NBA and his incredible work to convince Comissioner Stern that OKC could actually support a team. But I'd like to know what Ed supports, and it would be nice if he would actually be honest with the voters.

[catch22]

Yep.

This guy is strange. Who does this?

Maybe it's metaphorical. Lol

I have 3 cars! Do motorcycles count? If so I have 5.

wonder if Mick's ex would do same.

[GaryOKC6]

she probably would but he would not be deceptive enough to put her on a mailer.

[soonerguru]

Is Ed trying to confuse the public that he is still married? Weird. This is another example of his "transparency."

[Midtowner]

AffectED.

whitewashED.

That is not entirely true. OKC offers training for neighborhood associations and will, in effect, deputize these NA representatives to allow them to remove illegally placed signs in their neighborhoods.

[Plutonic Panda]

He unfriended me.

I really do think that Ed Shadid might be a poster on here. There are a few that would definitely qualify.

[Plutonic Panda]

Why the hell do you only respond to certain posts that fit your need and not the ones that actually call out Ed Shadid with solid facts that you know are true and can't argue against? I'm not completely against the guy, but right now I support Mick who is likely half responsible for bringing OKC back into a boomtown.

One word....TROLL.

This is interesting...:

OCIS Case Summary for CJ-2013-881- Smith, Deborah Overby v. Shadid, Edward (Oklahoma County District Courts)

And this, from his divorce case is VERY interesting:

OCIS Case Summary for FD-2004-6310- In re the Marriage of: Hammam, Dina and Shadid II, Edward A (Oklahoma County District Courts)

RESPONDENT'S ASSERTION OF FIFTH AMENDMENT PRIVILEGE AGAINST SELF-INCRIMINATION RELATING TO DISCLOUSURE OF RECORDS FROM TALBOTT RECOVERY CENTER & PSYCHIATRIST, DR. SIAVESH NAEL AND/OR MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER PROHIBITING DISCLOSURE OF PRIVILEGED PSYCHOTHERAPY COMMUNICATIONS & MEDICAL RECORDS THEREOF & BRIEF IN SUPPORT. (FILED UNDER SEAL)

Whenever someone asserts their 5th Amendment rights, in a civil case, it's fair to draw a negative inference that if the information was disclosed, it'd be damaging.

But here:

OCIS Case Summary for PR - 112327- Shadid vs Hammond ()

Shadid is trying to keep the public out of his divorce file (something which should be a public record). Just from the docket sheet though, I can't see how folks like Edgar are trying to say that Shadid and his wife get along. They sure didn't way back then. In fact, it appears they had to have a 3rd party parenting coordinator. Bottom line, shadid should not have brought his family issues into this election not a smart move.

Great point. As someone who has worked closely with the Chamber on and off over the years, I can attest that the majority of the members are small business people -- not plutocrats. If you're going to rail against the Chamber -- as Shadid and his campaign associates do -- you are also railing against a host of small, mom and pop businesses. Additionally, there are numerous non-profit organizations that are involved with the Chamber.

Railing against the Chamber is about as stupid as railing against the government. In both cases, they are US.

Let me say something else about the Chamber and the people that work there. You won't find a collective group in the city with more civic pride and "let's do this and make our city awesome" attitude than what you find inside the walls of that office. To sit behind a computer screen and anonymously post that they do nothing but cater to "barons" is incredibly ignorant.

You want to see a city with a weak chamber, go move to Wichita, and tell me what they've got going that we should be envious of.
