OK County jail tax divides voters over trust and planning | Letters

Oklahoma County jail proposal lacks plan, transparency. I have been reading up on and listening to the pros and cons of (the Oklahoma County jail sales tax) proposal. The more thought that goes into the proposal the more I am inclined to vote no. My reasoning is (1) There is no concrete plans about where and what type of structure that is to be built. (2) The first proposal that passed, the public was on board to do this project. The result of the leadership not having a prepared in depth plan, caused a lot of confusion and chaos. (3) We are now being asked to trust that everything will work out just fine.
