i'm new to moore, did it get passed?

[aintaokie]

Welcome to Moore and yes, it did pass.

I voted for this resolution to pass. It's a great way for the emergency services to upgrade their facilities.

What were the police enhancements? Most of the info that I received was about the fire department. I always see police officers in the east Moore area. They sure do maintain their visibility.

At the rate that Moore is growing...I believe we needed the upgrading... I hope our fearless leaders do a good job of using the funding wisely...
I have lived in Moore since 1968 and We have surely grown up...
