This is huge news in Oklahoma. Literally no one has as done as much for Oklahoma and particularly Oklahoma City as Aubrey in the last five years or so. He was the man who created whole neighborhoods from nothing, created thousands if not tens of thousands of jobs, helped bring the Thunder to OKC, and generally made the Oklahoma City a place people would actually want to live.
Of course, he is probably a criminal and nothing lasts forever when its tied to the price of oil, but a lot of Oklahomans take his accomplishments for granted.
