This the all I can make from the recent articles in the newspaper. The County wants to upgrade the fairgounds. To upgrade the fairgrounds they need money. Ways to get money - charge people for parking, new taxes and placing a surcharge on the ticket events held at the fairgrounds. This surcharge would be voluntary for the permanent residents of the fairgounds, ex: Bells, Big Splash, Tulsa Drillers, Flea Market. All residents except Bells is collecting the surcharge and giving it to the County. Bells is trying to obtain more land to build on - and is using the surcharge as leverage. Therefore Bells and Tulsa County are in a contract lock. neither side is wanting to move much. Bells is rumored as saying they will leave the fairgrounds. Which is what they should do anyhow - if they really want to expand.
