Perhaps those who don't live in Cushing, OK, yet wish to post an opinion about such, would be better suited as psychics, pawning off speculative information on a naive web audience, that would dare to believe non-Cushing citizens, to be a trustworthy source of info. about a town in which they do not live in on a daily basis, nor do they spend time with Cushing citizens on a
daily basis. I on the other hand live & work in Cushing and have no regrets for either, instead I count myself as blessed, as I have a neighbor, upon moving to Cushing July 2008, greeted me & my
family with a warm handshake and some tomatoes from his garden, and then offered a helping hand w/the moving, should we need any help, we declined but appreciated such an offer, next the boy living on the other side of our newly acquired home proceeded to come over and introduce himself, and tell us the names of his brothers & sisters his parents names and their occupations, with great pride in his voice he announced his dad was a fireman, his mom a nurse, and his age was 13. I found all of this welcoming from neighbors in this little town of Cushing to be quite refreshing, not evil as this one-sided ignorant poll would suggest, I have lived in other towns, where I never new my neighbors, nor did they ever go out of their way to be known & be such amicable & hospitable...SO DON'T JUDGE THAT WHICH YOU ARE IGNORANT ABOUT !!

It did not take me long after moving to Cushing to figure out that there are a precious few who run this town. Those few care for little else than what keeps their pockets full. They have their closed door meetings with their other single minded cronies and decide what will work best to keep as many people under their thumb of oppression as possible. As for others getting involved, trying to actually do good things for this community...such hopes are quickly doused with the reality that the true of heart shall be whipped by the hands of the evil. Is this some wicked spirit from beyond? No, the evil lies in the hearts and minds of those who have used their wicked lies and deception to move into a place of undeserved power. The most disenchanting part of all of this is that the community of Cushing sees the evil, knows the evil, shakes hands with the evil and then talks about it and the shame of having it live within their community and then do NOTHING to change it. That is something I will never understand.

Cushing had 354,876.71 income from sales tax alone in 2008 (Ref tax.ok.gov ). Add in to that the income from utilities and a slice of the pie from subsidized businesses like the prison, fines from tickets and others and the seeming willingness of the population to pass bond issues (I STILL can't figure that one out as people are POOR here). OH wait a minute the city attorney gets 178,000 of that (The highest paid in Oklahoma) and the city manager gets 103,000 so there goes your yearly sales tax on just two city employees. YIKES! Oh well they can always pass another bond issue and tax the people more.

<quoted text>Cushing is a town out out of control with drugs! It's scary to raise our kids here and I would move if I could. I have lived here for many many years, Some years in the past we have had a few drug users or trouble makers but nothing compared to what is going on here now! This is not the same Cushing!
