    Resident urges AG Drummond to investigate Edmond’s bond campaign practices

    October 21, 2024


    EDMOND, OKLAHOMA (KOKH) — Edmond residents have several concerns about the $231 bond proposal that will be voted on in just a couple of weeks. One resident even sent a letter to Attorney General Drummond asking him to investigate potential legal and ethical violations made by the city of Edmond.

    Matt Burns, the Edmond resident who wrote the letter told Fox 25 that lots of Edmond residents want an independent body to look at the city’s actions related to the bond proposal, alleging a potential misuse of public resources and questioning their ethical practices.

    In a little over two weeks, Edmond residents will vote on a $231 million bond program that city leaders say will go towards improving streets, parks, and public safety.

    If passed, property taxes in Edmond would be raised by 14% which would cost homeowners hundreds of extra dollars each year,

    “Seems like a handful of people got together and decided it was a good idea for the rest of us, and then has started using city resources, taxpayer-funded resources, to promote the outcome of that election for the bond,” said Burns.

    After receiving mail, digital advertisements, and seeing signs promoting the bond all over Edmond, Burns wrote a letter to Attorney General Drummond, asking him to investigate the city’s actions in promoting the bond initiative and conflicts of interest within the Citizens Bond Advisory Task Force,

    “In addition to promoting it using public resources… they created a 25-person, quote, citizen advisory Task Force, and if you take a look at that task force, it’s made up of a bunch of insiders, former council people, people who benefit from roads being built,” Burns said.

    Burns says he’s spoken with several other Edmond residents who are concerned about how their government does business,

    “It’s more about like, being able to trust your government, to act responsibly and act within the bounds of the law, and in this case, whether you’re for or against the bond is irrelevant, but everybody should be for a responsible, law-abiding government,” said Burns, “And here, I think they’ve really missed the mark.”

    The City of Edmond sent Fox 25 this statement regarding the bond proposal;

    While common in most other Oklahoma cities, GO Bonds are new to many Edmond residents. The city takes seriously its responsibility to inform and educate residents about the projects, how they were selected and how they would be funded. We have taken steps to ensure accurate information is provided in multiple ways, both online and in person, so that residents have every opportunity to learn about the proposals that will be on their ballot Nov. 5.
