A Bigger Small Business - The city of Tulsa has done well to make cuts, but it needs to generate revenue, too - Columns - OpEd

"I do not shop in Tulsa because (a) Taxes are too high and (b) the money that the city receives in taxes is wasted. Does Tulsa need all the overpaid, parasitic, unionized cops we are supporting? Do we need more dams in the river, which the Parks Department is trying to slip by people? Do we need TWO helicopters for "our" police department, when the OHP has two for the entire state? Do we need to give the hotel and motel tax to the Tulsa Chamber, so that they can advertise their own private businesses with OUR tax dollars? And frankly, Mr. Ewing, Maria Barnes and Bill Christiansen are two of the five clowns on the city council that are causing most of our problems. Anything THEY come up with is probably not good for the city, and not good for me. So Mr. Ewing, until we get competent councillors or go back to the city commission style of government, I will continue to drive south to Broken Arrow and Bixby and spend my money where it's appreciated."
