Oklahoma City has started its campaign push to pass a public initiative approving a penny sales tax that would raise $122 million for improvement to the Ford Center to make it NBA ready, according to The Daily Oklahoman.
The Greater Oklahoma City Chamger of Commerce is funding the campaign effort, called Citizens for a Big League City.
"We are closer to being a major league city than we've ever been before," Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett told The Oklahoman. You can see clips of the press conference here.
Opposition to the proposal also emerged Tuesday.
City activist Steve Hunt opposes the Ford Center plan and is organizing a grass-roots opposition effort.
Hunt and others opposed to the project have named it "MAPS for Millionaires."
"I am going to try to get a local group of people that I know to get together and hand out literature," Hunt told The Oklahoman.
