I got the opportunity to work with Mayor Taylor on a couple of projects and I found she really wasn't all about the photo opp. She would show up early and leave well after the cameras were gone. I was truly amazed at her genuine interest in the community.
And this is coming from someone who could never see anything good or altruistic in her motives her first year or so in office. She really was a dynamic leader and Tulsa is poorer for her not running for a second term.
I felt the same , especially after the way the downtown assessment district charges for the ball park were pushed through.
But compared to what we have today, it begins to make the Taylor administration look dynamic.
