Tulsa World Calls Out Bynum

O.U.C.H.  In a pointed editorial, Tulsa World called out Bynum in a politically damaging piece.  Ya think maybe water in da River just got totally slammed dunked for good?  Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.  NOT a chance.

G.T. Bynum to Tulsa: Dammit Dammit Dammit!

How did I know to skip the G.T. Bynum Arkansas River Roadshow at the last Dive Bar Town Hall?  Maybe some genius inside source tweeted about a wayward memo no one wanted to talked about?  Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.  NOT a chance.  NOT in a million years.

Tulsa World reported the bad news on Friday, 12 September, when EVERYBODY in the know already knew by 25 August.  A few days later, 28 August, Bynum was front and center on the six o'clock news with a perfectly straight face, taking a wishful thinking tour of da River, in front TV cameras.  W.O.W.

If G.T. has been hiding the real costs of the dams, what else is he hiding?

First dam estimate: $185 million;

Second estimate: $300 million;

Above-the-fold Tulsa World tell-all:  P.R.I.C.E.L.E.S.S.

Isaac Rocha's Top Ten Tulsa Ordinances Hit List

A recent Tulsa World article reported Tulsa Young Professionals Chairman Isaac Rocha had quite an "ah-ha" moment regarding Tulsa's laundry list of local ordinances.

Ever since I refused to pay the $15 fine or perform community service, and insisted on going to jail for waving the American flag, while bicycling, 37 TRO 1007, I have been compiling a laundry list of ridiculous city ordinances which really do nothing, except appoint Tulsa Police as nothing more than tax collectors.

If Isaac and TyPros are really serious about making changes, here's the Top Ten Most Ridiculous Tulsa City Ordinances that have overstayed their welcome:

10.  37 TRO 1007 Waving the American flag, while bicycling, criminalized.

9.   37 TRO 622 Bicycling on city streets, criminalized.

8.  27 TRO 1213 Spitting on streets, criminalized.

7.  27 TRO 1205 Dancing on streets, criminalized.

6.  27 TRO 1405 Cussing, criminalized.

5.  37 TRO 1104 Walking on the wrong side of the streets, criminalized.

4.  37 TRO 1102 Jaywalking, criminalized.

3.  27 TRO 500  Catch-all criminalizing the First Amendment.

2.  37 TRO 606 Disobedience to arbitrary dangerous traffic control devices, criminalized.

1.  42 TRO 1300 Not enough off-street parking, criminalized.
