Good for the recall folks. That’s funny that the supporters think the 1000 construction jobs will be for locals and not the specialized oilfield-like firms that are already staffed up to work these projects, or that Google will have 200 permanent staffers tied to the location and contributing to the town’s tax base.

In Oklahoma, its more likely that a group of neighboring property owners didn’t get a cut in or something petty about a disagreement of funds used from Hotel Tax by the Economic Development Authority. I agree and guarantee its some NIMBY based dispute for sure.
Local City Government is a challenge to keep focused especially in Conservative parts of the US.
