Henry, Former Governors Endorse Tax Extension

Governor Henry and former Governors David Boren, Frank Keating and George Nigh today endorsed passage of Tuesday’s sales tax vote in Oklahoma City to improve the Ford Center.

“Oklahoma City voters have an opportunity to take a bold and visionary step seizing on the momentum of our capital city,” Henry said in a statement. “This city and state are more than ready for such a prospect.”

His statement, and the endorsement of the issue by the former governors, was released by Citizens for a Big League City campaign, a group supporting the proposal.

Oklahoma City voters on Tuesday will decide whether Oklahoma City should keep retain a present penny sales tax to raise $121 million for overhauling the Ford Center and building a practice facility to help attract the NBA Seattle SuperSonics to the city.
