It seems we just finished the state and national elections and here we are talking about the Spring elections for Norman City Council. Yet these elections in many ways will have a greater effect on you and your family than those state and national offices ever will.

We as a community will in the near future be facing questions of water supply, waste water treatment, and water quality. The answers to which will have ramifications for decades to come.

Additionally there issues such growth, retail retention, high density developments, smart lighting, parks and the list goes on. These issues, and many others, concern your quality of life here in Norman.

So I urge you to make the time to stay informed, get involved and speak out on the issues that will be shape our City for many years to come.
