State quarter will be put to vote (http://newsok.com/article/3039097) ... I'm Sure Everyone Will Want to Vote :laugh:
Oh, I forgot. Most of you can't on this one, but no one will ever know if you do. :D
This is a just another good example of another public official that got things screwed up and has left it the public to get him off the hook.

Oklahomans have the chance to choose the design of a special commemorative quarter honoring Oklahoma.
The quarter will be issued early next year by the U.S. Mint.
Five designs have been finalized by the mint.
Gov. Brad Henry, who had the option to pick a recommendation, has decided to let Oklahomans decide by voting either at a special Web site or through the mail. The design with the most votes will be the state's design.
The vote on the quarter will begin Friday and concludes at 5 p.m. April 27.
The designs include representations of the Pioneer Woman statue in Ponca City; gushing oil derricks; the scissortail flycatcher, the state bird; and an American Indian calumet, also known as a peace pipe.
Oklahomans may vote for their favorite quarter designs at a Web site, www.gov.ok.gov/coin.php (http://www.gov.ok.gov/coin.php). The page can also be reached through the state's official Web site at ok.gov, as well as through Henry's homepage at www.gov.ok.gov (http://www.gov.ok.gov/). Those without easy access to the Internet may mail their preference to:
State Quarter Contest
Office of the Governor, Suite 212
State Capitol Building
Oklahoma City, OK 73105
The winning selection will be announced and submitted to the U.S. Mint no later than May 1.
