    Re: County Jail

    That's almost funny. I can understand a 10 or 20 or 25% bump in overruning estimates, but construction costs have NOT increased by 300%ish.

    So this is just a case of someone trying to look like...

    Re: Express Files for Bankruptcy

    Cheaply made/overpriced clothes are probably the first thing to get left behind in this economy. There are so many great options and so many innovations and these stores essentially haven't changed...

    My family is originally from Cushing. Great Great grandfather came there and started the furniture store which is still downtown. Cherry Street is named after his cherry orchard.

    Re: Oklahoma Turnpike Authority

    Relocation costs are part of the deal. We had a similar case in Garfield County with the Super Walmart where we got the county to agree that our client's property was damaged to 100% of the value...

    Re: Oklahoma Turnpike Authority

    I mean.. anyone who has tried a jury case (I have tried a few) knows that juries are very unpredictable. In a civil case, you can get a defendant's verdict when you are 100% sure and have the best...

    I don't believe punitive damages are available against the state.

    What's really at issue in a condemnation case from the lawyer's point of view is you're trying to get 10% above the...

    Re: OKC Zoo

    It really is. Funny enough, when I was a child, we visited the San Diego Zoo, having heard how great it was. I wasn't all that impressed. OKC Zoo makes good use of its dedicated funding source.

    I practice primarily in domestic cases, and I don't find that to be the case at all. There are some lawyers who are difficult to deal with, but you figure it out. Most of us are very professional,...

    TBF, that was never the Oklahoman's purpose. In its glory days, it was only ever a cheerleader for the Chamber of Commerce of OKC and a mouthpiece of the elite.

    Over the years, we've had a few TV...

    IIRC, it was all concrete. Access would have to be improved, but it could probably be usable pretty quickly. It could be a really neat thing to have in the neighborhood.
