BROKEN ARROW UPDATE thread
BA City councilwoman Debra Wimpee said I was spreading "fake news" about her presentation to council tonight & that I was "terrorizing" people
My post shared what was on CITY COUNCIL WEBSITE, then removed.
I called Wimpee today to see what was fake

about my Twitter post and how exactly I was "terrorizing" people and to find out if there was anything else she wanted to share with you.
Wimpee says she IS planning to use SOME of this report, data charts. She says her "intent was misrepresented" on the Broken Arrow (MORE)

City Council agenda that was publicly posted on the city's website. Here is the agenda that was later removed from Broken Arrow city's website.
Wimpee told me it was "incorrectly placed on the agenda" and that her words were not put on there about her intent
#Oklahoma #COVID19

Wimpee says her intent is ONLY to use data about masks vs. no maks from this report, NOT the entire thing.
I asked why she would not be using data from CDC, White House Task Force, any state medical official, etc. She said she's free to show any data she wants & the point (MORE

is to have an open discussion about the data-different data.
I assured her I was not reporting "fake news" & that my post simply shared what was on the city's website, but she said it IS fake news because her INTENT was not written on the city council agenda. Her INTENT

IS to share parts of this report but only some data.
Wimpee says she didn't notice the agenda until yesterday afternoon even though it's been posted since last Thursday. She also doesn't appreciate everyone criticizing her about the "fake news."
I asked what she plans (MORE)

to do this evening at the council meeting and she said "our city IS NOT going to mandate masks."
She doesn't appreciate the "threats" and "shaming" Broken Arrow city leaders have received because they DO NOT want to have a mask mandate.
When I asked her what she would (MORE)

say to exhausted healthcare workers across the state and the members of the 9 medical organizations that sent a letter yesterday to BA City Council begging them to pass a mask mandate, Wimpee said it's up to hospitals to increase their bed capacity and they make lots of (MORE)

money on elective surgeries and by having full capacity so if they want a change, they need to stop elective surgeries.
**A note before I finish this thread.....the council meeting is happening now and they're starting discussion
you can watch live
