Ideas from Enid

Enid IdeaRaiser, June 12, 2007

On Tuesday 100 Ideas travelled to Enid. Over 65 Oklahomans were in attendance, 4 of which were state legislators. We want to know what you think of the ideas they raised. Here are a few:

-Provide state grants for start-up businesses.

-Waive the state income tax for 2 years for people entering the workforce as either current or new residents of Oklahoma.

-Build a light rail system to connect Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Enid, and Lawton.

So were going to connect Enid and Lawton with two major metropolitan areas. What about Bartlesville to Ponca City to Grove? Or from Tulsa to Muskogee to Fort Smith? With gasoline prices, clearly light rail is the future for Oklahoma. It needs to be comprehensive though, and bring the state together via transportation. It sure beats the turnpike system!
