It seems it does not matter what the people think or want anymore as in the case of the federal judge who struck down a voter state ban on same-sex marriage in Oklahoma. Since he has "stayed his ruling," I do hope that the appeals will work, and Oklahoma can remain a state that decides…

It seems that this small town has missed the mark on good clean water. Now they need to find the money to fund the required improvements that people in a town that size cannot afford. Should they ding the school district for the large increase, probably not. Yet it actually showcases the authority that departments…
