The County's Blank Check

Mad Okie over at Living on Tulsa Time has made in interesting discovery with regard to the River Tax ballot on October 9th.

The ballot has some very strategically placed words that would seemingly give our county commissioners the power to spend this tax money on whatever they want. Should this tax pass, and one of the projects fall through, or if the Corp of Engineers reject the plan, it would appear that the County would have a blank check. This proposal is sloppy. We need more than a few weeks to know exactly what we are getting ourselves into. Vote no on October 9th, force the County to come back with a complete plan and a better ballot.
