Clear Quotes
We're growing, we've prospered and all we needed was just a chance. The old image of Oklahoma City being a minor-league city is outdated. We've always been a great place to live with low-cost housing, virtually no traffic congestion, fresh water and clear air. But we've never been perceived as a great place to vacation. All our positives started to mushroom up in the last 18 months.

Business Quotes

Aspect Quotes
There are things that you run into when developing a city that you wouldn't have in a rural area. We have to be very respectful and sensitive to the fact that these are people's livelihoods that we're dealing with. That is usually the most emotional and time-consuming aspect of this job.

Certain Quotes

I think this was sort of a litmus test for his administration and, you know, half the Democrats that voted, I found a lot of dissatisfaction out there when I went knocking on the doors. Went door to door, I found a lot of dissatisfaction with the current city administration.

Additional Quotes
There are two issues here. The heart of the settlement is the $14-21 million the city has agreed to pay to stop future problems along the highway. There's an additional $300,000 expenditure in the settlement to clean up areas already harmed by the sediment drainage. We think the Forest Service should help cover these costs.

Appreciate Quotes

Criteria Quotes

Sports & Entertainment Commission with the City Council last Friday, nor the text of the legislation passed by the Council last night. We are very concerned about what we heard during the debate, and we need to read the materials and the legislative language so we can determine whether they are consistent with the agreements between Major League Baseball and the city.

Confidence Quotes

Allowed Quotes
Many of us are guilty of having allowed Tom Bradley to do whatever he has done without really challenging him, without making sense out of what was going on in City Hall.

Achieve Quotes

Appearance Quotes
Since employees start over at step one when they are promoted, going from firefighter to lieutenant results in a loss of about $1.50 per hour, and lieutenant to captain results in a loss of about 50 cents per hour. But other departments have the same problem, specifically in the Police Department and the Water and the Community Appearance departments. In the Water and Sewer Board, you have many different levels of work, which makes it more likely that you will have promotion problems. That?s why it gets very expensive to fix all of the departments of the city at the same time. The cost depends on the size of the department.
