Imagine That!
by Pat Rooney
Well, what to write about? Nothing much happening in finance these days. Just rising interest rates, the Federal Reserve’s inflation fight, California banking news and crypto’s current meltdown to name a few. So many articles, so little time. And even though bad news outsells good 2 to 1, I am on the good news side today, reflecting on OKC and its remarkable resurgence that continues into its 30th year, by my count.
For those of you scoring from home, this resurgence started in 1993 with the successful passage and implementation of MAPS 1. After that, a succession of successes followed. More successful MAPS programs for schools and other projects. The Hornets, the Thunder, entertainment venues and neighborhood redevelopment followed resulting in a much-altered landscape. We have also been blessed with very successful businessmen and women seeking to make a difference and a very capable and efficient government that helped tremendously over the years. READ MORE
