I went to a meeting of the Claremore planning board. Got there and only the people putting in a petition for raising reptiles were there. Came back in 10 minutes and the meeting had already started, It seems the Board and "concerned" citizens can as a group. The board heard Mary and one other person to grant the request to raise reptiles. I was denied the right to speak. Then one of them said there will be no debate since the board had already made up its mind. It seems like before the meeting. So I a resident of Claremore and veteran of 1st Cav in Baghdad was prevented from speaking. Second instead of voting for the permit it was worded as a resolution to deny the permit. 3 voted yes and two no. No reason just a quick vote and adjournment. The entire meeting was a joke. I talked to the planning board and they were RUDE. Not wanting to answer direct questions, finally got who voted how. They misrepresented themselves as city council leaving up the council members and mayors signs.

All across our fair town the roads and sidewalks are substandard. Then if there are sidewalks the residents refuse to use them. I came too close to a pair of young ladies with their children. They were wandering down Sioux not paying attention. Walking down the center of the street is not healthy. There is a sort of sidewalk available. Why can we not do better? We complain about fat people but make it difficult to safely walk. I propose that the city come up with a plan of upgrading all streets and sidewalks to national standards. We need to develop some civic pride and not act like a third world nation. This will save the people money in the form of less vehicle repairs. The city needs to stop the deterioration of neighborhoods while at the same time expanding. Let’s make the City of Claremore one of the best places to live! The home of Will Rogers needs to be second to none.
