  1. Start of Responses Slide 1 of 119“a must read for all” 1st amendment providersNewkirk HeraldNorth Central ReporterGet Real CableT4TPC News

  2. All have been complaining about violations to Mark Gibson and SEVERAL filed charges with Fred LaValley.

  3. Get Real Cable has a duty to make public possible violations. If no newspaper, TV station, nor reporters were allowed.

  4. What would happen? 1st Amendment holders like Get Real CableNorth Central Reporter and T4T,“are just that”,“we have a duty”

  5. 80 questions were brought forward!80 !!!All carried felony, misdemeanor, or removal from office.

  6. The grand jury said we have limited authority, we can notact on criminal cases already tried or being tried in court,we can not act matters that are civil in nature, and we have no jurisdiction regarding whether a public official always acts or behaves in the best interest of citizens.

  7. Also, the grand jury system should not be used to influence or replace the civil process of the judicial system.

  8. Each and every civil case costs 10 of thousands of dollars. this is why the grand jury was called.

  9. I have already spent over $250,000.00. Now they advise us to spend millions. There are people who have spent years working on this, they were not even called.

  10. This is what they told the City and its Trusts.Make sure that notice of any and all meetings of public bodies be posted, as required by law, that all agendas of public meetings be specific, and all open meetings be held in locations accessible to the public, and use executive sessions sparingly.

  11. So they admit the law is being broken, say they cant do anything, as instructed by DA’s, and spent a couple of days reading all 80 complaints.They are right about one thing, what a waste of our time!

  12. 4 dealt with Get Real Cable.Actually they were for you! My fight is about YOU!AND NOW its about my 1st amendment rights and due process!

  13. Its ironic how my battle to not have you overcharged for Franchise fees. And keeping prices low. Has turned into me being the bad guy and them trying to run me out of town. I will not budge on doing something I believe is illegal.

  14. Franchise fees for Cable TV, are fees and not a voted in tax, all taxes must be voted upon. “no taxation without representation” I am your representative and this is not a legal tax.

  15. Cox had City Sales Tax on there bill for the past 10 years, did you vote this tax in.NO !

  16. YOU have paid over $150,000.00 in taxes not voted in.

  17. I have refused, and I did not pay these fees, or bill them to my customers. I still believe they are not entitled to them.

  18. YOU voted me in in 1998, you trusted me then, and you must trust me now! Please I have done what I said I was going to do. YOU set back and watched us succeed some wanted me to fail, most gave their full support.

  19. ONLY a few are AFTER ME, AND now the tables will turn!

  20. I will bring most of the issues out, and they will try to destroy me and our 1st amendment rights.Its just how they work!

  21. You may be shocked on what I have to say, and your right.

  22. You may know these people, or thought you knew these people, and trusted them as I did. At first, I too did not believe anything, but, after a careful study I know for a fact that we have a big problem.

  23. In 1975 a Grand Jury was called.56 questions, 24 witnesses, and 12 days of study.One indictment was brought.The judge said “ You might liken this to taking an X-Ray for tuberculosis and finding it negative. You are still glad you had the X-Ray.”

  24. In this 75 grand jury neither DA was in the courtroom unless asked by the jury to define certain legal points. This is the LAW, they cannot ask or assist.

  25. The Law Reads“In no event shall the grand jury be advised as to the sufficiency or insufficiency of the evidence necessary to return a true bill, in a matter under investigation before them”

  26. This 2008 Grand Juryonly called 3 of the witnesses whom filled complaints. The North Central Reporter was not even called, nor the other complainants, and the DA asked most of the questions. This was legal only if the Attorney General appointed them.

  27. A multi-county grand jury was being introduced to the house floor in 1975. “a sign of the times”the DA saidhe also said, “he would oppose it”

  28. The 75 grand jury made the same remarks as did today's grand jury. Without the personal attacks.We recommend to all citizens of this county that just as there are certain responsibilities and special trust of government officials to the public, there is a corresponding responsibility and trust of the individual citizens to exhaust private individual or organized remedies available to all citizens

  29. Remedies were sought!Questions were sought in the grand jury of 2004, Newkirk Herald sent numerous letters, and printed many stories, and North Central Reporter, also sent letters and reported over and over.

  30. Citizens groups fought against this also, and in 2008 Get Real Cable joined in the fight. Ponca City News also has reported numerous complaints.

  31. Do you believe we are all wrong?Or could there be a major problem?

  32. In 2005 Enid DA’s had 112 charges on public officials, but would not file, “saying it was in the public interest not to peruse charges”. Where was our DA?Who was our DA? Mark Gibson

  33. The reporter with the Newkirk paper, worked on this for years, until his massive quadruple bypass.

  34. Korina owner of the North Central Reporter wrote many stories and was threatened. This threat was also printed, and you need to read her story last week on page 8. “Clue Me In”

  35. Sharon Rowen reporter with PC News is a trusted reporter, and deserves an award.

  36. Ponca City Newsbroke the story on Cimarron Broadband for not having open meeting. They met illegally at Carl Renfros Bank. Senator Myers son, Craig Myers headed up this project. 7.5 million in schools funds were spent. “For internet” Federal monies which are now being used to target independent operators.

  37. Lets look at a few of the issues!

  38. City policy says the City may not spend over $2,000.00 without 3 separate written quotations.

  39. City Charter says they must bid anything over $5,000.00.“All contractsinvolving an expenditure of $5,000.00 or more, shall be made by the City Council only after the Council shall first procured specifications therefore, an before any such contract is made the Council must cause a notice to be published in the official city paper, calling for sealed bids.

  40. How many bids have you seen published over the past 10 years?And, how many purchases have they made over $5,000.00?Answer is over a Thousand.

  41. This isn't small stuff, and it adds up to millions, and its impossible to calculate overpayments and waste.

  42. In 1981 the City quit posting its itemized payments in the local newspaper. WHY!!! This practice should be brought back!For the City and all its Trusts.

  43. The City is required by law (our Charter) to get the peoples permission if its is going into debt on any purchase of $25,000 or more. This includes giving approval for its Trust on anything over $25,000.00. When is the last time you voted to approve anything over $25,000.00answer: 10 years +, with exception to the new taxes and school.

  44. Duty of City AttorneyCity CharterIt is hereby made the duty of the City Attorney in all cases of arrest for violation of the City ordinances and this Charter to immediately cause to be filed before the Municipal judge a complaint in writing against such accused person, and the accused person must thereupon be arraigned forthwith before the Municipal Judge for his plea.

  45. Authority of City CouncilCity CharterThe City Council is hereby vested with power …to Grant Pardons in all cases arising out of convictions occurring before the Municipal Judge.

  46. OK, so we inform City Attorney Mary Ann Karnes a violation has occurred, that’s like telling District Attorney Mark Gibson that Oklahoma Law has been broken in Kay County.“fox guarding the hen house”and the Chief of Police works for the City, and will not file the complaints with the city attorney.

  47. ExampleThe City collected hundreds of fines above the legal amount, ($50.00) + 15.00 court costs.Mary Ann Karnes was hired by the city commissioners on March 14th 2003 to get the city legal. They knew they were collecting fines illegally. A judge put a stop to it on Feb. 6th 2007. Illegal amount were collected for over 10 years. Each and every violation caries a felony charge. Statue of limitations runs after two years, so if you were fined over $65.00 between Jan 1st 2007 and Feb 6th 2007 you can file felony charges. The rest of you, ask for your money back.Title 11 section 14-109 and 14-111

  48. Hundreds of these overcharges were submitted to the grand jury, however they asked if Jessica personally got a ticket and since she had not, they said she was not personally harmed, and ignored this question. That’s the same as witnessing a murder and the judge asking, did you know the person killed, I answer no, and him telling me well your testimony doesn't count.

  49. 1979 OK 164SUPREME Court of Oklahoma“A grand jury’s power to make an inquest into the conduct of a public office and return an ouster accusation is implied from its constitutional grant of power to inquire into”, “all character and grades of crime”

  50. New topicDid the City of Blackwell unlawfully spend funds in excess of the amount allowed by the City Charter, without the vote of the people.Three of many examplesFire truck $175,000.00Street Sweeper $125,000.00building $35,000.00
