Del City leader: Sell Oklahoma County jail land, renovate old facility

With the proposed jail sales tax defeated , Oklahoma County should scrap its plans and sell the land and nearly complete Behavioral Care Center at 1901 E. Grand Blvd., Del City Council member Scott Tatom said. The proceeds could be used with other funds − but not a hike in property taxes − to renovate the old jail downtown, Tatom told the Board of County Commissioners at its meeting on Nov. 10. It was the board's first session since the Nov. 3 election led to a pending paradigm shift in county criminal justice reform efforts. By most accounts, voter opposition to the sales tax proposal led to the change, not just the "blue wave" of Democrats coming into office nationally. The tax went down with 63.3% opposed. More: Oklahoma County voters soundly defeat jail sales tax Activist Chris Johnston again on Nov. 10 called for dissolution of the Criminal Justice Authority, the public trust that governs operation of the old jail at 201 N. Shartel Ave., and turning the jail over to the Sheriff's Office. "We don't just hand the sheriff the keys. We create a realistic hand-over process," he said, and build back community trust.

Democratic wave could bring changes to Oklahoma County government

Oklahoma County government could have a distinctly different feel in a few months after Democrats swept general election races. Voters flipped the Board of Oklahoma County Commissioners in an election that ended Republican Party rule, which had held since the 1970s. Plus, if freshly elected Democrats vote as a bloc, the Nov. 3 election will lead to a shift in the balance of power on the usually nonpartisan County Budget Board, where personalities often dictate action more than partisan politics. Come Jan. 4, 2027, the commissioners' board will have a 2-1 Democratic majority, with Jennifer Mayo, 35, representing District 3 , which has not been held by a Democrat since 1981. She will join Democratic Commissioner Jason Lowe of District 1 and District 2's Brian Maughan , who will be the lone Republican. Also on Jan. 4, Democratic Assessor-elect John Gibbons will take office after beating incumbent Larry Stein. Democratic Treasurer-elect Jessica Thompson , 37, who won that open seat, will not take office until July, the start of the 2027-28 fiscal year.

Oklahoma County voters soundly defeat jail sales tax

Oklahoma County voters soundly defeated a county sales tax to finish and operate a new jail campus that includes a nearly complete Behavioral Care Center, according to unofficial results from the Oklahoma State Election Board. The vote on Tuesday, Nov. 3, thwarts the county's plan to fully complete the campus at 1901 E. Grand Blvd. in southeast Oklahoma City and eventually replace the aging 13-story jail tower at 201 N. Shartel Ave. downtown. Unless another sales tax election is called and succeeds, the county will be left with a hybrid operation, with the old jail downtown and the care center, diversion, intake, kitchen, and laundry at 1901 E. Grand. With all precincts reporting, the tally was: For: 84,143, or 37.7%. Against: 139,181, or 63.3%. Official election results will not be certified until Nov. 6. LIVE: It's Election Day in Oklahoma: Governor race, state questions, live updates District 2 County Commissioner Brian Maughan, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, could not be immediately reached for comment. Maughan was the tax's leading proponent. However, leaders of People's Council for Justice Reform , the main opponent of the tax − and the plans for the new jail − have made their position
