"As usual, talk of city-county consolidation targets the City of Tulsa but ignores the other municipalities of Tulsa County, many of them rapidly growing, and most of them, like Tulsa, extending into other counties. Rather than create a city-county authority, removed from direct accountability to the voters, entangling a dozen or so governments, the simplest way to eliminate duplication is to eliminate the county parks department, transferring each county park to the nearest city -- LaFortune and O'Brien to Tulsa, Chandler to Sand Springs, Haikey Creek to Broken Arrow, etc. Tulsa County government should be shrinking to its essential administrative functions as unincorporated territory shrinks, leaving municipal functions to the cities."
