As usual, Richard Mize hit a home run with his recent review of the Housing Tax Credit. Personally though, I don’t see a huge problem with the increased down payment requirements for FHA loans. Sure it makes it tougher for those looking to jump into home-ownership, and it slows sales to some degree, but a large […]
Edmond Property Tax Increase – What Do You Think?
April 22, 2008 by
I posted a while back about a proposed property tax increase in Edmond, and will continue to post about this regularly until it comes to a vote before the residents of Edmond. Rumor is that the vote will take place in late July or early August, so mark your calendars now and be sure you […]
Downtown Edmond Improvements Continue
March 27, 2008 by
The scale of improvements being made to the downtown area the past few years is quite impressive, and they don’t appear to be slowing any time soon. This is yet another example of our city’s forward thinking and willingness to improve on an already great thing. At the heart of all of these improvements is […]
Property Taxes in Edmond Increasing??
March 22, 2008 by
If you ever want to get the public blood boiling, start proposing tax increases… even better, property tax increases. That’s what the City of Edmond is doing. This is a topic I could rant about for days, but I’ll try to keep it brief here. Apparently, the powers that be are proposing a tax hike for […]

Most of us who live in Edmond, especially NW Edmond, know about the MAC (Multipurpose Activity Center). It’s an amazing facility built a few years ago at Mitch Park, which offers many different activities and programs for Edmond residents. Talk is that the MAC is about to be expanded to include a branch of the YMCA, […]
A BIG Pat on the Back of OKC!
March 4, 2008 by
Well, I have to admit, with all that I’ve been hearing in the media (you’d think I’d have learned) about today’s vote, I was worried. I was hearing about 50% for and 50% against the Big League City proposition, and as it usually goes, those who are against a tax of any kind will get […]

Big League City Time – Get Out and Vote!
February 27, 2008 by
Probably one of the largest local public-interest propositions put before us in quite some time comes before voters in just under a week, and I want to encourage everyone to get out and USE YOUR VOTE! Make your opinion heard and make a difference. One of the biggest mistakes people make is not being actively involved […]
