Dear Mr. Bill Davidson:

I really enjoy the letters you publish, but there is one thing that bothers me.

To live in Oklahoma City today is exciting. The approval by the Oklahoma City Council to restructure Centennial Plaza or Civic Center park is a great gift to all of us. Making this prominent property a spectacular centerpiece for the arts and civic affairs gives us all a feeling of pride and excitement.

I can only hope that the photograph taken of Wilson Elementary School kids at lunch (“A Heavy Duty, Rachel Curtis, March 14, Gazette) is archival, or the Oklahoma Fit Kids Coalition really has its work cut out for it.

The film industry and the Oklahoma Film Enhancement Rebate Program are good for Oklahoma. In an industry driven by financial incentives, if the state Legislature eliminates the film rebate this session, our growing industry will likely die.

Finally, a Republican who speaks the truth. In the article “Drug-testing for dollars” (News, Feb. 29, Oklahoma Gazette), when asked if we test [Temporary Assistance for Needy Families] applicants for drugs, why shouldn’t business owners applying for state incentives be drug tested as well, Republican Rep. Guy Liebmann replied, “If he hired somebody or brought in five more jobs, should we drug test him? He’s done the state a favor, putting them on the payroll and they’re going to pay taxes and use the local shops and eat out and so forth.”

Concerning the Personhood bill, why not have everyone who is against abortion sign one list, and everyone in favor of choice, sign a different list.

Reasonable fiscal policies produce jobs and, as the Clinton administration demonstrated, also meet the financial needs of the nation and balance the budget.

Some people we expect to be around forever. Michael Camfield was a solid presence for civil liberties work and challenges in Oklahoma for so many years.

The world has watched how Greece’s debt and financial woes have crippled Greece, the European markets and nearly brought down the world’s financial markets. Little Greece was nearly, and may yet be, the last straw — the tipping point for a global economic disaster.

Trust me: I know it feels good to take the stand that we don’t want our welfare dollars going to drug addicts. I still believe that, but I also used to think that universal drug testing to make that stand was the answer.

In response to Wanda Jo Stapleton’s Jan. 18 letter to the editor, “Back to the Dark Ages”: That’s an unfortunate analogy, Wanda Jo. I’m pretty sure there were no easy abortions back in the Dark Ages.

Shame on you, Oklahoma legislators, for caving in to the pharmaceutical companies’ lobbying to keep pseudoephedrine over the counter and not make it by prescription only. I wonder how many lunches they bought you and your staff, and how many vacations they promised you and your families?

The new session is barely underway and our legislators have found time to write all manner of bat@$&* crazy bills about zygotes, stem cell sweeteners and green lighting the teaching of mythology in science class, and now they want to drug test others?

Once again our Legislature and other public officials stand ready to protect us with laws to drastically reduce the amount of meth use in the state.
