There are a lot of people who don’t seem to be aware there is an election today. Seems like the county should have added this to a general ballot election.

I'm guessing a more positive outcome regarding a smaller turnout. |

My precinct saw only 175 voters by 4 in the afternoon. More will show up after work, but it's a dismal turnout regardless.

Well, mine was a two sheeter; the counter on my machine when I completed said 50. It counted both sheets so I can only assume I was voter number 25 at about 4:30 pm. |

#146 at Berean Baptist Church (21st & Darlington) at 5pm.
Hey, even with low turn-out it passed, I didn’t see that coming but glad it did.
Curious how many people who didn’t vote will complain it “got shoved down our throats!”?

By expanding our jail to accommodate the War On Drugs, we fall further behind the rest of the nation:
The public appears ready for a truce in the long-running war on drugs. A national survey by the Pew Research Center finds that 67% of Americans say that the government should focus more on providing treatment for those who use illegal drugs such as heroin and cocaine. Just 26% think the government’s focus should be on prosecuting users of such hard drugs.http://www.people-press.org/2014/04/02/americas-new-drug-policy-landscape/ |

You know, not everyone in jail is there because they sold or possessed drugs.

Not everyone, but huge percentages are. Over half of all Federal prisoners most serious crime was a drug crime. That true for 20% of people in state prisons. With Oklahoma's draconian drug laws we are assuredly well above 20%.
Ditto with Moss Jail, whose overcrowding problems are not going to be solved (in the long term) by adding more wings. As far as those insidious out-of-state voter mailings criticizing the county for breaking it's "temporary tax" promise; I got three times as many from the vote YES lobby. Except for the message, the vote YES and vote NO cards seem to be virtually identical. So, who were the deep pockets on each side? |
