Among his specific accomplishments, Nichols says Cornett has improved education, created jobs, made improvements to the State Fairgrounds and recruited the New Orleans Hornets basketball franchise to Oklahoma City for two seasons in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. And of course there’s the Mayor’s recent healthcare initiative to encourage city residents to lose weight.
