Your response: The current House District 71 map is ridiculous. It irrationally and detrimentally segregates neighborhoods that share the same infrastructure issues, crime concerns, business, school, and recreational resources. HD 71 should be bounded by the southern edge of the Tulsa downtown inner dispersal loop (highway 64), the AR River, US I-44, and Harvard Avenue. It's nonsensical to throw Swan Lake to East Tulsa and Maple Ridge to Sand Springs. They have next to nothing in common. They belong in 71.
