“Spending tax dollars to disenfranchise rural Norman residents is flat-out wrong, as de-annexing East Norman could have serious consequences for all of us: think lost economic opportunities, a smaller tax base, and potentially higher costs for everyone else.

This proposal is obviously shortsighted, harmful, and a misuse of taxpayer resources.”
