Thank you for the info. New Oklahoma voter and want to make I make no mistakes and vote correctly.
You can count me as a “no” on 833. In theory, it could be good, as the land owners in an area could band together to float bonds to improve the infrastructure in that area instead of having the city float bonds for infrastructure in the area, only to spend the money on parks on the other side of town.
The problem is that I don’t trust local governments to not misappropriate that money anyway. I’ve seen enough times that we voted in a sales tax to fund raises for police and firefighters only to see the city take the amount raised by the sales tax out of their budgets the next year that I have no question about their ability to screw this up, too.

I’ve gotten to the point that I vote NO on any tax. There are too many as it is and they want to add more. Taxes and everyday expenses go up, but for my income doesn’t. For me to get an increase in my retirement pay, it has to be voted on by the legislature.
I haven’t seen a raise in over ten years.

Here is the actual language of the two state questions. Strikes me as kind of odd that a discussion of them hasn't included the actual questions, but read and decide based on what the question says.
State Question #833
This measure adds a new section, section 9E, to article 10 of the Oklahoma Constitution. Section 9E will permit the creation of public infrastructure districts to provide support, organization, operation, and maintenance of services. To create such a district, proponents for creating the district must file a petition with the municipality. The petition must include the signatures of one hundred percent of all surface property owners falling within the district’s proposed boundaries. The municipality possesses the right to impose limitations on the district’s powers prior to approving the district. Once approved, the district will be governed by a board of trustees.
Through the board, the district may issue bonds to pay for all or part of all public improvements implemented by and for the public infrastructure district. The district will be limited to issuing bonds issued for such improvements not exceeding ten (10) mills. For repayment of the bonds, the district, acting through its board of trustees, will levy and assess a special assessment on all property benefiting from the improvements in the district. Section 9E also authorizes the Legislature to enact laws necessary for the implementation of public infrastructure districts.
Shall the proposal be approved?
For the proposal – YES; Against the proposal – NO
State Question #834
“This measure amends Section 1 of Article 3 of the Oklahoma Constitution. It clarifies that only citizens of the United States are qualified to vote in this state.”
