There’s been a lot of people crying about “taxation without representation”. Well, us folks here in Little Axe may have the opposite problem: “taxation with too much representation”.

This map shows the Little Axe School District boundaries outlined in black. The area not only includes land on the west side of the lake, but covers portions of two counties, three state Senate districts (outlined in purple), three state House districts (outlined in wide blue, green and orange), part of City of Norman’s Ward 5 (shaded in yellow), and no less than two U.S. Congressional Districts.

Little Axe is finely chopped

County Commissioners:
Cleveland District 2, George Skinner
Pottawatomie, District 2, Jerry Richards

State Senators:
District 15, Jonathan Nichols
District 16, John Sparks
District 17, Charlie Laster

State Representatives:
District 27, Shane Jett
District 45, Wallace Collins
District 53, Randy Terrill

Norman City Councilmember:
Ward 5, Rachel Butler

U.S. Representatives:
District 4, Tom Cole
District 5, Mary Fallin

Now that I think about it, perhaps another city councilmember or two would come in handy.
