As a tax payer of Oklahoma City, I demand a fair and impartial review be given to the proposals submitted on May 7, 2012. I want either Mayor Mick Cornett or members of the city council to appoint an independent review committee who will create a universal set of questions, and decide the vendor for the next five years, beginning in 2013, of the Zoo Ampitheatre based only on merit and past performance in the management of an outdoor music venue.

Facility Management Group, who has exclusively produced Zoo Ampitheatre shows for the last ten years, has been threatened with replacement through an admittedly unfair process. As quoted in the Daily Oklahoman, "They are fighting against ... a 2-month-old company that has no experience whatsoever in producing outdoor concerts, with ties to Texas and to Global Gaming and Remington Park, all affiliates of the Chickasaw Nation." The Zoo Ampitheatre is a public facility owned by the Oklahoma City tax payer. If you have enjoyed a concert at the Ampitheatre, your help is needed. This is a call to action, to keep an Oklahoma company with your best interests at heart producing the shows you love at an affordable price.
