Oklahoma City Residents Only

I voted in the City Council race for my ward today. It was 10:00 in the morning and I was voter number 46. Honestly, I am not sure if this is good or bad. I was by far the youngest person at the polling place. It took me exactly three minutes to park, vote, and get out of the parking lot. I wish more people took the municipal races more seriously. The City Council have so much more to do with our day-to-day lives. Bricktown could not be a better example of the type of power these people have, and in Ward 8 I think all I have to say is Penn and Memorial.

Want to know what got more inches on the front page of The Daily Oklahoman? The fact that local resident, John Paul, did not get picked by Jen Schefft on"The Bachlorette". I agree this is newsworthy, but it has absolutely no effect on my life. John Paul's love life has no effect on whether or not I get to work on time or if I can find a parking place in Bricktown.
