Default Re: The Great MAPS 3 Debate

The problem is, the citizens of Oklahoma City are the "collateral damage".
What? To what extent is the question. If one side loses, then we lose a park, walking trails, and grandstands for the river. The other side loses and they continue to lose ground on being able to keep this city safe. Instead of starting a shift with 4-5 pages of calls holding. Less officers will struggle to muddle through 5-7 pages. More fire stations close. 34 police officers will be laid off because of admitted predicted shortfalls. More of both Public Safety groups continue to lose employee's through retirement or to the private sector putting an even greater strain on dwindling Manpower numbers. Then will come the public outcry, but at what price?

I can't believe that the Mayor or anyone else can get rational people to believe that if "THIS" MAPS3 doesn't pass we will somehow be doomed. Growth will be stopped. Momentum will completely stop. It's ridiculous!
