Not sure if this has been brought up in another thread, but, what are the thoughts on this? I had assumed it would die months ago, but it keeps clearing hurdles.
If comment sections are to be believed, not a single person wants this.

Good news!

Bad picture but here is a rendering

From the Tulsa World -23-167379 — Oklahoma State University Medical Center, 744 W. Ninth St., new (new parking garage), $53,313,924.

That's quite the parking garage - I'm guessing they're planning on building over the current surface parking lot to the north.

Have sent a couple messages to Admin.   No reply.  Profile says that Admin has not been on since mid-Jan, so whoever it is has not seen either message.

I did this last login a couple days ago and clicked the box that says never logout.  Apparently that is a key.  Same two IP address.  The key to what triggers system message is my user name.  3 different computers, 3 browsers.  Some say Guest, most say my name.  If I were to logout on this session, I would be banned again with this computer and browser.  This computer and a different browser appear to have been banned.  May be combo of IP and name - can logon once, but next time, banned.

I understand Admin is volunteer around here.  Is there another way to catch their attention?  Do they check in the postings?  Maybe just tired of seeing me hanging around.  I asked in messages.
   

Judd Blevins, who marched alongside neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, lost his fight to remain on Enid’s City Council.
Blevins has denied that he has ever been a white supremacist, but at a candidate forum last week he defended marching in Charlottesville and said his activism was motivated by “the same issues that got Donald Trump elected in 2016.”
In 2019, he’d been outed by anti-fascist researchers and the progressive media outlet Right Wing Watch. The articles included photos of Blevins in 2017, marching alongside tiki torch-wielding neo-Nazis at a rally in Charlottesville and the next day at Unite the Right, carrying the original Oklahoma flag at an event where counterprotesters were beaten and a woman was murdered.

He still got 40% of the vote. What are we coming to?

So I will ask, if this is the new state regulation, that if I'm in a bar in Tulsa, and ABLE does a spot inspection and I have a valid Arizona DL and having an alcoholic beverage what does that allow them to do? If I don't show my ID, even though it's valid from another state what happens? Seriously, I'm having dinner and someone from ABLE demands my ID when I have not committed a crime and they have no probable cause, and I ask what is the probable cause, can they do?

"Public Drunk, Interfering."

The sticky part is/was ABLE and TPD's Vice Squad improvisations. There is no statutory requirement that only a current license could be used to confirm your age, or that surrendering your DL to a cop in a bar is entirely voluntary. One even explained to me what they would do if you didnt volunteer.

Its been a few years, but I was told flat out by ABLE agents doing "bar compliance checks" that only a current Oklahoma Drivers License is valad for the purchase of alcoholic beverages; expired ones arent valid... as if you suddenly got younger when your DL expires.
This, as ABLE and TPD went from one gray-haired person after another demanding ID to prove they had a right to be in a bar.

In every state, and in Mexico, that I have traveled to, I have never been denied or questioned about the validity of my ID, as long as it was not expired, for service or purchase of alcohol, regardless of the state that it was issued in, since I turned 21 in 1984.

As I remember, there is reciprocity between states as to what a valid ID is, and that a valid state ID issued by one state was accepted by any state especially for drivers licenses.

Changes.  I use a VPN sometimes and sometimes don't.   And it looks like internet supplier allocates different ones on occasion.  Windstream and Cox cable...  So far just chasing my tail.  Gonna start a log on addresses!
