Why?

Why is the City Council having ANOTHER meeting this Monday night to "reconsider" their "no" vote on the rezoning of a west side residential area to build a jail?

Why was land purchased before knowing if the land would be approved for rezoning?

Why was the land purchased for WELL above the market value and above the appraisor's recomendations?

Why did they choose THIS location and not a location away from residents?

Why did they allow the jail situation to get in such BAD shape with overcrowding and fines before doing something about it?

Did I mention they are having ANOTHER meeting this Monday night at 7 pm to "reconsider" their "no" vote?

Why, why, why does this have to be so difficult??

Why does the county want to sue the city, drag this through court and cost the citizens even more tax dollars?

Why can't they just find some land outside of town and build there- - away from all residential areas?

Why can't they use this land that they have ALREADY purchased to actually put something GOOD on the west side of town?

Why do those with no political voices get taken advantage of by those in power?


The citizens of Bartlesville should be outraged by the fiasco that is occurring between the county and city officials and I hope that many will show up this Monday night at 7 pm to watch the council members try to "take back" their NO vote. It should prove to be quite interesting!!
