This should generate no small level of sadness, no matter which side of the MAPs3 vote one advocates.
Agreed. People in power are going to do whatever they can to stay in power and further their own goals. Things like honesty and transparency are foreign concepts, and sympathy shouldn't be held on either side, regardless of who wins. The way it looks, the sides were made for each other.

The only part of MAPS 3 I'd consider vital is the streetcar system, then because public transportation is what separates the true metropolitan centers from the minor-league cities, and OKCs is terrible. The park and convention center are the eye candy portion, and everything else is designed to get votes.
