Oppose the Ford Center sales tax

An important message for OKC residents from Batch at the Peace House.

Should ALL Oklahoma City residents pay a SALES TAX to expand the Ford Center, benefitting the wealthy owners of the Seattle Supersonics basketball team, when only a FEW Oklahoma City residents have the ticket price or an interest in NBA-level basketball in Oklahoma City? NO !!!
(This expensive expansion will drive up the price of ALL events held at the Ford Center. Thanks, but, no thanks.)

EMAIL all City Council Members IMMEDIATELY (and call Monday) to protest this outrageous tax-everyone-to-benefit-a-few plan.
(City Council will address the TAX this Tuesday, Jan 1, 2008, deciding whether to have a “vote of the people” to extend the MAPS TAX to fund expanding the new Ford Center.)
