Gazette's Bleakley Supports March 4th Tax Vote

Oklahoma Gazette Publisher Bill Bleakley supports the March 4th sales tax extension vote in Oklahoma City and says bringing an NBA team to Oklahoma City as a result of Ford Center improvements puts the city in rare company.

Bleakley's editorial cites reasons to support the measure and the reasons some oppose it. He rejects the argument by some that the owners of the Seattle SuperSonics are wealthy and can afford to improve the Ford Center themselves. That, he writes, is not a realistic approach.
