• Humphreys Repurchases Okc Property He Donated in 1984

Former Oklahoma City Mayor Kirk Humphreys' real estate investment company recently purchased a parcel for $225,000 that Humphreys deeded to a nonprofit organization 22 years ago when he valued it at $615,000, public records show. The property near SW 23rd Street and Meridian Avenue, which is sandwiched between two other parcels that are held by Humphreys family investment groups, has been exempt from taxes in the interim, county officials said. Without that status, the property's tax bill would have been from an estimated $50,000 to $150,000 over two decades.

Ernest Istook, from among 500 5th District voters, indicates former 2nd District U.S. Rep. Tom Coburn had a narrow 2-point lead over Democrat U.S. Rep. Brad Carson, who now represents the 2nd District, but the poll margin of error was 4.2 points. Carson leads the other two Republicans by 5 points over Corporation Commissioner Bob Anthony, and 7 points over former Oklahoma City Mayor Kirk Humphreys. It is a narrow margin but could indicate Coburn has the best chance of defeati...

The time is ripe for reform of Oklahoma County government, and many options are on the table for discussion.
