When will our elected leaders be held accountable? A gap of over $1 billion is no accident. The governor stands in front of the media and patronizes the citizenry, stating that she understands its a hard time for Oklahoma families. Thats big talk for someone living in a state-run mansion.
Businesses in the energy industry have been preparing for low oil prices for over a year, yet Oklahoma political leaders feign surprise. Instead of accepting their responsibilities and admitting their ineptitude, the states elected officials choose to pass the blame onto the same industry that has supported their campaigns and their special projects. And, not surprisingly, after Oklahomans have already paid the price in losing their jobs and already pay state income and sales taxes, alleged conservatives want to tax us more by closing sales tax loopholes. Since when do conservatives support more taxation, especially of constituents?
Its socialism for big business and Oklahomas elected officials, and its capitalism for the rest of us. Oklahomans need to wake up and work toward removing the failing leadership from their posts.

Ive visited them all, and they each have something different to offer, which is odd for clubs like that.
Little Darlings is great; they definitely have the corporate backing, and it shows. Everything is so nice, and it has a classy feel. The other notable club on the strip is Whispers. Its owned by a girl who actually works there. She sat down and introduced herself to me when I went in. Shell actually play a game of pool with you, and shes not half-bad. These clubs are beating out the more popular clubs around the city.
