Well, I guess we survived another Super Tuesday election. Here are five armchair thoughts on what went down in OKC on election night.
1. Cheap-ass OKC residents don't want decent parks...
The proposal that would have increased Oklahoma City's sales tax by 1/8th a cent to fund operations, improvements, maintenance and programming for city-operated neighborhood parks failed by a count of 47% - 53%;
In all honesty, I'm surprised it actually did that well! As we know, Oklahoma City still has a huge chunk of cheap, anti-government residents who think even libraries are a waste of taxpayer dollars. Plus, just a couple of days before the election, a right-wing, probably OKC Chamber-backed dark money group dropped a ton of money in local TV ads to help defeat the proposal, because you know – additional sales taxes can only help the local ruling class.
