We have some good news and some really really good news to report!
First, the good news.
The Maps 4 Thunder Arena vote passed by a landslide margin of 71% to 29% – a Thunder money ball ass-kicking that will cement the team's future in OKC for at least the next 25 years and give the city a shiny, brand-new, non-sardine-can arena to host concerts, sporting events and monster truck shows.
Naturally, Mayor McSelfie celebrated the victory in the most eye-rolling, dramatic way possible:
Reflecting on the voting outcome of the new OKC arena, Mayor David Holt praised the city.
"Tonight, we told the nation, we told the world, that Oklahoma City is and shall remain a Big League City," Holt said.
"Today it was OKC versus the world, and we won," said Mayor Holt.
Question – Is it possible to have a more annoying mayor? OKC versus the world??? Really? 90% of the people in our city didn’t even know there was an election yesterday, much less the rest of the world that doesn’t even know our city exists! I pray pray pray that Holt has a new job before the new arena opens up, because I’m not sure I can stomach a mayoral mic drop on opening night.
