Reason: Texas and Oklahoma are like hand and glove; they are often paired together, and should be here

Oklahoma has more in common transportation-wise with the other states in Central States; it is a smallish, not particularly rich state. Kansas and Missouri are closer to being economic peer states to it than Texas. We certainly don't have the multi-billion freeway projects Texas has going on here. And Oklahoma doesn't really collaborate with any of its bordering states on transportation projects, so the arguments that were used to put KY in Great Lakes don't make much sense here.
Texas is enough of its own beast that if anything were to change with it, I would expect it to be it getting its own forum, for most of the same reasons people have asked for CA to have its own forum.

Not only that, but having been to OKC and especially Tulsa, they seem to feel much more like Midwestern cities (think like Omaha, Lincoln, Wichita, or Kansas City) than similarly sized cities in Texas.

By this logic we wouldn’t be able to define any regions. There will always be places that feel much more like other places outside their region than they do places further away but in the same region.
hbelkins:
I still think Kentucky is misplaced and belongs more in a southeast regional grouping, but if Pennsylvania is going to be all in one board now, it's time for other split states to be consolidated.
Rothman:
Changes to the Regional Boards are so exciting. Churn them up again!
