Let me get this straight...someone FINALLY wants to develop East Tulsa, but has to back out because they have to line of credit??? I wonder...did all the developers downtown or those associated with Vision 2025 have to do the same thing? My guess would be...nope. Why is East Tulsa treated like the red-headed stepchild? Doesn't anyone remember that it was the East Central Cardinals, located in, you guessed it, East Tulsa, won the 5A state championship? Congrats, because in the near future, I doubt if you'll have enough students left to field a football team!
I'm partial to East Tulsa as that's where my DH grew up (EC class of '91) & where his father still lives & where we lived when we first got married almost 5 years ago. We lived there when the councilor was Art "blame everything on OKC" Justus. Every time he had a town hall meeting & someone asked why things weren't being done, his reply was "all the money went to OKC." Finally, people saw the error of their ways & voted in Jim Mautino. When we were in his district, he attended all our neighborhood association meetings (Wagon Wheel/Rosewood) & was very approachable & helpful when it came to getting things done. It's obvious he has a heart for the district he lives in, which, oddly enough, is the district he represents...
I know he has worked hard to bring development into East Tulsa & it appeared that they were going to see results. Alas, it was not to be, thanks to the GOBS (good ol' boy systems).
I have an idea...maybe Catoosa or Broken Arrow can annex East Tulsa...that way our regional mayor will want to do something there!
On a side note...congratulations to the Bates family (see www.batesline.com) DH & I are very happy for you!
On another side note...everyone have a safe, happy & blessed New Year! And, to quote one of the best television shows ever, "Let's be careful out there!"
