For Anyone Undecided on Vision2, Tulsa World Has a Reader's Forum With Contrasting Editorials.

Former County Commissioner Bob Dick on [supporting Vision2](http://www.tulsaworld.com/opinion/article.aspx?subjectid=65&articleid=20121031_65_A17_CUTLIN219529):

> As a leader of the Vision 2025 effort, I believe it's hard to deny that our region has seen substantial results. We have been able to keep industry here and have enhanced higher education institutions, funded new health clinics, improved our parks and community centers, renovated our convention center and built the BOK Center - a catalyst for growth in our city's core.

> Now is the time for us to take the next step. We are in a position to keep this region moving forward with Vision2. Or we could see our region slip with the loss of jobs and lack of commitment to making this a place where businesses want to be. I don't want to send a signal to the world that Tulsa is not a proud community poised to continue to make progress and be competitive with any region in the world.

Bob Leighty, vice-chairman of the Transportation Advisory Board, on [opposing Vision2](http://www.tulsaworld.com/opinion/article.aspx?subjectid=65&articleid=20121031_65_A17_hrimgs378150):

> The next tax package we should be considering is the extension of the third penny and “Fix Our Streets,” which is set to expire in June 2014, not the Vision 2025 extension, which expires in 2017. The city of Tulsa is currently sitting on an unfunded capital improvement wish list in the range of $7 billion.

> …

> With four years remaining we have time to evaluate and prioritize which projects deliver the best return on investment and deserve to make the final cut. Let’s defeat this knee-jerk proposal and begin a more thoughtful process on how we might build on the successes of Vision 2025. Most importantly, let’s get more public input from the outset, not as an afterthought.
