The vote is October 9th and FOX23 wants to know why you support or don't support the proposed river tax. Share your thoughts!

no to the river tax....i for one have absolutely zero trust in any statements made by the mayor or just about any city official....why dont we see how that whole downtown plan works out if indeed it ever does...and just what is this curious relationship BOK has with the city of tulsa...now BOK is going to be the master leaser for the new city hall?  man there is something going on there...methinks there is something rotten going on......

I will vote NO, we need more Police, and roads fixed, the mayor says now she has a plan to fix the streets, which will be asking later after this vote for another tax increase to pay for it  She is now looking at a commitee who will be given after this vote. Watch out fo the Taylor/Miller gang. Let's pay for it with a River usage tax, let people who make money (all of the new business) and the ones who use it to pay for it. And as for the Crook who pays $5.00 he better check the law, I think it say 45 days before an election they can put the signs out, why hasn't he been prosecuted for having stolen property.

I vote NO as well.....I agree, we need our roads fixed among other more important things. I would like to see something happen with the River, I just think now is a bad time. I think if our roads were fixed and north Tulsa had the things they are requesting. What about our schools? Our teachers need raises, a lot of our schools need things, why cant we focus on that first? Education is everything...We can worry about the River after all the other things are corrected. 

 

I will vote yes for purely personal reasons. I want my property value to go up.

I will vote NO because Tulsa needs other priorities like fixing the roads. Also because it is going to alter the ecosystem in the river.  That river is it full of life and they want to alter it where the animals will go?

I will be voting NO!  Tulsa counties tax rate is high enough. Plus, the county has no business paying for a municipal project.  TULSA....TAKE CARE OF YOUSELF.  The rest of us have our own needs to tend to.

I'll vote no. How in the hell are we going to get to the river if the roads that take us there fall apart?

i know this is off topic but what is the deal with BOK and the city of tulsa and this whole so called business deal over city hall?  has any one heard anything?  other than the fluff the city puts out but deals like this is yet another reason to vote no.....

Absolutely NO!

It is ridiculous for our city leaders to ask us for more money with the piss poor job they have done with what they get.  It will not pass and it shouldn't.

NO

READ MY LIPS!!! NO, NO, NO and NO to the DUMB RIVER TAX!!! What part of NO DON'T THEY UNDERSTAND? ON the 9th. of OCTOBER the ANSWER is NO!!  Over Taxed Tulsan's are TIRED of your BULL S*** TAXES. Oklahoma taxes are higher than in some other countries, we have had enough, show us where our over paid taxes have gone.. Our TAXES never end..  (cricket)  

sunshine,i love you !
you just said the pure truth  abut this:PERSONAL REASONS. there is no care for my well beeing in this project and no care for  kids future or majority as well.THE ONLY CARE IS ABOUT EVERYBODY'S MONEY GOING IN THE POCKTS OF SOME PRIVILEDGED ONES. 

 I felt like throwing up when  I saw the mayor offering  5 mil. For parks in the north side of town if they will vote for the project. It sounded to me like asking them to prostitute. Why not vice versa  300  mil in the north side , to get rid of the ghettos and 5 mil for parks by the river? Big shame !

my vote : N. O. no ,niente , nien, nada  ,non

p.s. sorry for your property !

Sunshine.. property value  increases means more propert tax. since you live close to the river

you may end up having to move?? think of the traffic, when
Riverside Dr gets shut down you will have to go to Peoria along with every other driver in Tulsa.

I wasn't able to get registered to vote in time, so you can take my vote with a grain of salt.  I would've voted YES on the river tax, provided it was what I understood it to be.  (To clean up the river and help develop the Riverwalk area, right?)  I'd planned to check if my understanding of the issue was correct, but its a moot point right now.

My reason?  I'm from St. Louis.  I'm used to being able to go out at most hours of the day and get anything I want.  I think anything to expand the variety and quality of businesses in Tulsa is a good thing.  I'd love to see more late-night or 24-hour stores, restaurants, etc.  (Sometimes I'd give a pinky finger for Jack in the Box, or White Castle, Del Taco, Lion's Choice, Dave and Buster's, O'Charley's, etc etc etc.)  If it encourages a greater variety of businesses to open up in Tulsa, I would be in favor of it.  And yes, I agree that the roads in some parts of Tulsa are fubar and need to be fixed, but I don't think passing this opportunity by is necessarily going to mean that we get that.

ETA:  This is going to sound incredibly juvenile, I know.  But after hearing about people messing up the Vote Yes signs, that makes me want vote YES even more.  Nothing gets me fired up worse than someone trying to stifle my right to be heard.  If that were my sign, in my yard, my belief, nobody had better mess with it.

I'll be voting YES because I know a good thing when I see it and this project is the greatest thing to happen in Tulsa since the building of the current city hall and convention center.
