I don't understand why Tulsans aren't falling over each other trying to get a piece of the [oil] action.

The 80's called and told me to remind you of something... but I can't remember what it was.

The Native Americans, by treaty, have a cloud on the titles of all the lands in OK including Tulsa.  The presumption of mineral rights would be a moot question. Their smoke shops and casinos are drilling into the bottom pockets of the people as the people believe this is the way to redistribute the wealth.

Above the games they should be required to post a sign advising the players as to the amount the house keeps when the people play for amusement and add a small % for the infrastructure needed to get the people to the smoke shops and casinos.

We could collect enough to do away with local taxes if we annexed all these businesses under urban renewal.      

Wrong!

There's still plenty of money to be made.  In fact there's more money to be made than ever.  So the oil industry is cyclical.  So is technology.  Is San Jose giving up on technology?  You plan for the cycles.

I don't disagree at all. But I believe that you'll find a lot of people here who were burned back then and don't want to risk it again.

As a mineral owner, how do you get burned?  You sit around, let the operator and working interest owners take the risk, spend the money and when/if wells are made, the city gets a check.  Just like anything, if the economy changes, so does revenue sources.  I doubt I would want the police department funded of royalties, but as a supplement current revenues for the government, I say go for it.

If it takes a long time to get these operations underway, then it makes sense to start NOW, rather than say "why start now it takes sooo looonng".

So long as whatever they are talking about isn't going to screw up the air, water, or cause our houses to collapse into the ground.
