I have to give it up to Gov. Mary Fallin and the Republican leadership for agreeing May 18 to a tax “cut” scam that actually raised taxes for a quarter of Oklahoma taxpayers, including families with children.

I once saw a news story about how hookers on the West Coast banded together to form a union. I’m becoming convinced ladies of the evening might also need union protection here in “flyover” country.

Mick Cornett’s commentary of May 16 (“Thunder has transformed city’s image,” Oklahoma Gazette) proved that I was right when Oklahoma City chose Mick Cornett over Jim Tolbert: If you elect a sportscaster as mayor, you get a sportscaster as mayor.

Another Pride Week has passed. Never before have we had more of a reason to stand with the LGBT citizens of Oklahoma than now. With the breakthrough of a sitting president endorsing and recognizing the rights of gay citizens to marry and hold the same legal rights as heterosexual couples — for the first time in history — we have much to celebrate.

“Locked, loaded and legal” (News, Peter Wright, May 9, Oklahoma Gazette) sounds like a gun guy’s wet dream, but it may present more problems than solutions. Concealed carry offers no indication to criminals that they are in for a fight, and thus the public presumption is that open carry is a deterrent. But there is a caveat.

With Tulsa’s low test-scoring McLain High School in danger of a state takeover, the north Tulsa school needs a makeover.

Oklahoma Water Resources Board and Cherokee Nation member Ed Fite reminds us (News, “Water war,” Clifton Adcock, May 2, Oklahoma Gazette) that in spite of the Chickasaw and Choctaw tribes’ well-produced PR campaign on water rights, "the two nations brought that suit against the state, and that's being lost” — in case anyone missed Gov. Fallin trying to shame the tribes into submission after they called OKC's bluff on their strong-arm tactic with the good ol’ boys at the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.

Ted Nugent’s recent comments at the National Rifle Association convention regarding President Obama (Chicken- Fried News, “Redneck rhapsody,” April 25, Oklahoma Gazette) have raised a valid question: At what point does a person’s free speech make him or her culpable in a murder?

Dick J. Brooks (Letters to the editor, “He deserves no respect,” April 18, Oklahoma Gazette), derides President Obama, asserting a litany of alleged criminal conduct and concludes that he cannot “respect a fraud, a puppet, an empty suit.”

In regard to “He deserves no respect” by Dick J. Brooks: In his letter, Mr. Brooks writes about President Obama and his recent visit to Oklahoma.

Setting aside the personal smears, factual errors and oxygen-starved reasoning of Dick J. Brooks’ April 18 missive, “He deserves no respect,” his hypothetical scenario about the company’s new leader has left out a few minor details.

Rep. Jason Nelson: I read your self-aggrandizing commentary in Oklahoma Gazette (“A plan to fix DHS,” April 4), and I have to reply that most of the problems your party is trying to solve is one of their own making.

In answer to Dick J. Brooks, I think he has forgotten the facts just a little. Which CEO came into office, took a surplus, turned it into a deficit and rewarded all his cronies who contributed to his campaign with numerous tax breaks and war contracts, which put our country into a recession akin to the 1930s?
