Trust me the businesses are loving this! No press is bad press! Every time someone calls one of these businesses to complain tells them they got there money’s worth! So you are actually making them more money.

Angry phone calls don't pay the bills.   That said, I'm sure for every detractor, there are multiple leads this abomination has generated.

The tribe owns it. Bought by Michelle Wolfe Voice June 2015. Her mailing address is the tribe realty office.

That seems to coincide with the billboard owner saying he started the paperwork three years ago.

They just installed the camera-on-a-stick that tells them whats on the screen and if its malfunctioning or shot out.
Some advertisers shuffled, OU and St. Jude seem to have been replaced with Ben Fu for DA and a construction company.
(EDIT: St. Jude re-appeared)

Just from Local news stories you see:

St Jude Children's Research Hospital
Riddle Plant Farm and Landscaping
Gordon Outdoor Advertising
OU Physicians
Eyemart Express
Mothers Against Drunk Driving
Green Country Federal Credit Union
Tulsa Fraternal Order of Police
Perini Eyecare
Enterline Law Firm
Crushed Red
Six Guns Construction
Ben Fu for District Attorney





I think Fu's campaign missed one heck of an opportunity:

"Little Benny Fu Fu hoppin' through the courthouse..."

You cant object to it now that it has "legitimacy."



...and this apparently wasnt the first tribal-billboard collaboration.  That honor goes to a lucky Broken Arrow neighborhood.

INCOG or ODOT, unless this is actually incorporated land.

Which one? I haven't noticed any of them being "dangerously bright" along there.

That's the one I mentioned a few days ago.  It is so low to the ground, I could stand on the hood of the truck and touch it.

It is obnoxious, but points up Main street so most of those residents only see the back of it.  Only 2 houses really can see it much.

Patric's correct...Wayne Brady on his pic.  It's not every day but yesterday was a "what the F...that is bright" day.

It happens often.

Someone needs to get creative with a drone with attached pilot string(s).. 
That billboard wants a protest banner.

You seriously want to go down the path of denying utilities to tribal land because you don't like what is built there?

It was brought to my attention Broken Arrow officials discussed denying taxpayer-supported infrastructure for a proposed casino there.

Easy to figure out BA...follow the money.   First Baptist and Rhema run the show.

There is a neighborhood meeting on Tuesday to discuss more detailed info on the legality and next steps.

Most advertisers have pulled their ads. The only advertisers who haven't pulled out appear to be those who got the advertising in relationship for in-kind work (Riddle plant farm provided some rather ridiculous looking landscaping for example) and Ben Fu who stated that he would rather lose a few votes than pull the ad.
