[QUOTE="securitysix, post: 2847954, member: 32714"] Well, I voted against Vision 2025, which was supposed to have done at least some of these things that never got done (low water dams, funding parks and swimming pools for pretty much every city and town in Tulsa County, stuff like that). If I still voted, I'd vote against this, too. Not like it will matter. Most folks in Tulsa will vote for it because they fall for the "It's not a new tax" and "it's only a penny" lines, ignoring the fact that it [b]is[/b] a new tax (without it, the Vision 2025 tax expires). And sure, it's "only a penny", but it's a penny for [b]every dollar you spend[/b] for the rest of your life, because they'll never let it expire if it gets passed. That adds up. It worked with Vision 2025, and all we got out of that was the BOK Center. The river improvements never happened (where'd that money go?). They closed a bunch of parks and swimming pools (where'd that money go?). The county roads still suck and most of them that I drive on haven't been touched in over 20 years (where'd that money go?). When this passes, and it will, because the voters in Tulsa are suckers, taxes will go up, but very few, if any, of the things this is supposed to fund will get done, and most of what does get done (if anything) won't be done well.
