Jethro, you still don’t understand? To the politicians (BOTH parties have them) it’s ALL THEIR money.

This is the people’s money. Why was it not given back to the people?

Thank you for clarification on this issue. I actually heard this today for the first time. I find this interesting since I discussed this issue with several Rep’s and one Senator before going to print. Not one person I conferred with said anything about unclaimed property money. In fact they all said it was bond money. This tells me the $6 million give away was confusing to a lot of people. Again thank for the correct information. I still disagree with giving our money away.

while you may not like the GM plant purchase to secure the long term future of Tinker Air Force Base, the largest employer in our State, do know that this particular bill was NOT part of the bond package. This money was in a reserve fund of unclaimed property. Frankly it was a great use of those funds.

Bob – you are RIGHT ON with this subject! But you forgot there were a few good Senators who stood firm and voted against these last minute pocket pickers!
