Interesting how paranoid far-right Oklahoma Republicans are saying to vote NO against Oklahoma State Question 833. This even though bringing up the proposal was authored and passed by Republicans in the Oklahoma Legislature. The far-right fears that passage of SQ 833 will somehow bring about 15-minute cities or Smart Cities.
If passed, SQ 833 would allow 100% of surface property owners in a portion of a municipality to petition to create a PID {Public Infrastructure Districts) to finance infrastructure in that area, meaning streets, sidewalks, parks, electrical, water, and sewer. If approved by city council a PID would be able to issue bonds to finance the infrastructure in the area and repay the bonds through an up to 10 mill property tax assessment on properties in the PID.
Sounds okay to me to help encourage a city to grow with good quality living standards while sounding like taxation with representation. Too bad how the far right is opposed to that. So, name someone who is like that. Okay. It's Aaron Means, the Christian Nationalist Republican Chairman of the Payne County Republican Party.
