"I recently tried to volunteer for CASA for the kids. I was unsuccessful...not really seeming to be integrating into the work world or other professional settings just yet... But I do remember the Instructor pointing out that the new Juvenile Justice Center was on the last ballot and was voted down.
And I thought, I read that ballot. Actually, I even looked it up in the Tulsa World before I went to vote so that I knew who and what I wanted to vote for before I got to the box. But for the life of me I did not remember the Juvenile Justice Center being addressed.
I remembered a question about the Expo buildings which will forever be a "NO" for me, short of the County rebuilding Bells, as a much needed and long overdue apology; and I remember something about the hangers for the leased spaces near the airport... But, a new Juvinile Justice Center?
So I went back and looked and sure enough, right there it was in between a Low water damn and Expo Square.
We pay nearly 10 cents on the dollar at the grocery store for taxes... nearly a dime out of every dollar so that we are left with 90 cents worth of food and that 90 cents I don't think would buy a full handful of grapes--that is, unless you don't mind sour grapes-- I think they're cheaper.
We do need a new Juvenile Justice Center, I toured the building and it is true. I do not know what is wrong with the land the old one is on but the building is archaic.
But as for the EXPO-- you demolished your most profitable tenant at the Fairgrounds, you laughed in the face of the majority of Tulsans as you did it. As for the people who lived near the Fairgrounds -- No one who was old enough to own a home before Zingo was built is young enough to hear the roller coaster now. I was four or five the first time I saw that roller coaster and I knew that was something special... If a grown adult buys a house near a roller coaster and does not know it might make some noise, then they need a special kind of help.
Meanwhile, those poor lawyers, social workers, and judges will freeze to death in the winter and sweat till they quit in the summer while the building falls down around them as long as you "Package" the things you want me to pay for with the things that I refuse to.
I think that each project should be represented individually. Feel free to have multiple propositions in your vision; not just two....as a voter, albeit unemployed, I give you my permission to have many propositions. I feel fairly certain there are others who feel the same (they may not be the wealthy people they are more likely the poor like me- the ones who have very good reason to worry where our dimes are going.)
Many propositions and good media coverage (so I will have a good idea of which ones I want to vote for without having to work for it; job hunting takes up a lot of time)and I, for one, will vote for Roads and Bridges, and Juvenile Justice. (Note to self..._)"
