Gotta have sports. Gotta have football. Those are the priorities.
High school football and being a pom pom girl are the high points of some people’s lives.
The apartment owners pay taxes but just pass them on when they don’t get a sweetheart deal. Equalization in our county is a joke. It appears to depend more on who you are than what your house is worth. I’ve seen 3500 square foot houses appraised for less than a double wide.
I disagree on Fallin. She is firmly in the pocket of what big business there is here in the state. Oklahoma, up until last week, persistently had one of the lowest oil and gas severance taxes in the oil producing states. I’d truly like to know three significant and good things Fallin has done since being guv.
We lived in Edmond 30 years ago. It was a nice town once. Small enough that the city workers would build huge piles of leaves in the city park across from the old rock grade school and let the kids play in them at recess.
Thanks for the comments, and the questions about Fallin. She may cozy up to big business..I don’t know. I only know that she is an honest broker and a proponent of capital punishment.
You would not recognize Edmond now...100,000+ population. You probably remember that many live like movie stars..(Lot’s of perceived wealth).
The old rock school on Boulevard is named “Russell Dougherty”...lots of BMW’s and Mercedes in the parking lot, (as usual).
