While I am not 100% familiar with how OKC did it, I can see where you are coming from. Then again, I know the position in the city was. There were legit concerns about acquiring the franchise if we didn't move quick. There were going to be some unhappy puppies either way.

OKC brought in the public who oversaw the process and singed off along the way. We still could have done that without compromising the time frame.

It just feels as if the council used the time frame as an excuse to keep the public out of the loop.

That is the bottom line here. Is that the public was left out of the loop. If they hadn't done that, support would have been much higher.
