Foshee Says If Barriers Go Up, He'll Pull Out
By Jerry Bohnen, NewsRadio 1000 KTOK ~Former Oklahoma City Councilman Jerry Foshee is so dead set on his project to get cable barriers installed in the median of I-44 in south Oklahoma City, he is offering to withdraw from the campaign for a legislative seat. He made the offer in three separate statements in reference to Oklahoma Transportation Department Director Gary Ridley, telling the KTOK Gwin Falconer-Lippert show Sunday night, "I'll tell ya what, if he would start, and you can publish this, if he would start putting those barriers up tomorrow, I will withdraw from running for the Senate."
Foshee went public last week in assisting the family of Oklahoma City Fire Department Lieutenant Mike Tiderman who along with his eleven year old son and two other individuals was killed in a cross-over accident last month on I-44 near SW 119th street.
"If he would start putting the barriers up tomorrow---or I'll even give him a week---if he'll start in one week of putting the barriers up on I-44, I'll withdraw from the Senate seat," he repeated in the interview with KTOK's Gwin Falconer-Lippert.
Foshee still wonders why the Oklahoma Department of Transportation installed the cable barriers on the median of the Lake Hefner Parkway but not on South I-44 where last month's deadly accident occurred: "If he thinks it's political or he thinks I'm doing it for political--I'll give him a week to start work on the project by putting the posts up, and I'll withdraw from that Senate race," he vowed a third time.
Foshee left the city council earlier this year and became a declared candidate for a State Senate seat that represents south Oklahoma City.
