[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3899244, member: 7900"] Maybe this will turn around? If I remember right, the former mayor was also employed by OU. But, she got beat this year by a gentleman that is much more conservative than she. [URL='https://www.kgou.org/politics-and-government/2022-04-06/norman-chooses-new-mayor-as-heikkila-unseats-clark']Norman Chooses New Mayor as Heikkila Unseats Clark[/URL] "After a single term as Norman’s mayor, Breea Clark was defeated in Tuesday’s runoff election, by a vote of 53.4% to 46.6%. Norman’s new mayor will be Larry Heikkila, who is far to the right of the more progressive Clark, as he made clear in a campaign ad earlier this year. “For far too long, the citizens of Norman have been victimized by the overreaching of the extremist council,” said Heikkila, who carried the backing of Norman's Fraternal Order of Police and campaigned on increasing funding for the Norman Police Department. Clark was the youngest woman to hold the mayor’s office when first elected in 2019. Her tenure saw an unsuccessful recall attempt and death threats over coronavirus restrictions and the city council’s decision to divert more than $865,000 from a proposed police department’s budget increase to pay for social services to help the city's homeless, mentally ill and other vulnerable populations. Norman was the first city in the state to implement a mask mandate." [/QUOTE]
