DIRTY MONEY SHOULD BE RETURNED -

Inhofe Should Return Money He Received From Indicted Senator

OKLAHOMA CITY (July 29, 2008) Oklahoma's U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe should return $12,000 in campaign contributions that he has received from indicted fellow U.S. Senator Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, Oklahoma Democratic Party Chairman Dr. Ivan Holmes said today.

Our friendly prairie dog friend, Sheridan, has posted on his own blog about the happenings with the City of Lawton's 2nd Street Project. His observations are below, but it is some food for thought.

As expected voter turnout was extremely low. With that being said we applaud the voters of Wards 3 & 4 for the strong showing and for voting. It is a time to change. We offer our congratulations to Councilwoman Drewery and to Councilman-elect Burk.

Again the city will have to suffer through the rants of Councilman Shanklin for another three years. Though discouraged by the outcome of the race, we are glad to see that Garrett Jackson, had a strong showing. Time will tell what the next three years will hold. It is doubtful that much will change with Mr. Shanklin where we would ever offer our endorsement.

On a final thought, We would like to thank Mr. Keith Jackson for his service to our community and to this website. We would like to wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors whatever they may be.
