How did you vote today


Mayor

Independent - Lawrence Kirkpatrick

I didn't care for the other three, a pedo sympathizing democrat, a tax and spend republican and a anti-2nd amendment nut. So one mayor may be soft on crime, another may try to tax us more and other may try to push for some anti-2nd amendment ordinances(which I do not think is legal at the city level but it may not stop him from trying). I do not know anything about Kirkpatric.




Auditor


Republican - Preston Doerflinger

Maybe we need someone new.

City Council


district 3
Republican - Karl Hulcher

I voted for Roscoe Turner and when the issue of passing the ordinance to require police verify the legal status of those they arrest came up he voted against playing the race card and making some crock of smile excuse that Hispanics may feel that they could get deported for reporting a crime.

Then I voted for David Patrict last time and he allowed the mayor to give money to a Bank, allowed a bum shelter to be built at yale and admiral and a few other things



Proposition 1

Shall the existing charter of the City of Tulsa, as heretofore amended, be further amended to require that any person filing for and holding the office of city auditor must be a certified public accountant or certified internal auditor?



I voted against this.We didn't need this before.


Proposition 2

Shall the charter of the City of Tulsa be amended to provide that city councilors will serve for three-year terms, which shall be staggered so that no more than three council districts will have an election in any one year?


I voted against this. I think if anything is need it is term limits.No more than two times maybe three as a city councilor


Proposition 3

“Shall the charter of the City of Tulsa be amended to require that before any claim or lawsuit where the demand is equal to or greater than $1 million ($1,000,000) may be settled both the mayor and the city council must agree to the settlement?”


I vote for this. I think the amount however should be lower because a million is a smile load of money but so is a 500,000 and a 100,000. Every penny the tax payers give to the city is important.

Dude.  I have a bridge to sell you.  It'll be really cheap!  PM me.

TURobY

Adelson, Gomez (last minute switch from Barnes, though I still like both candidates), Wood, and Against on all three propositions.

Wow, Jamesrage.

Your methods of logic and reasoning make me laugh.

You are either a parody or someone who shouldn't be allowed sharp objects.
Power is nothing till you use it.

Turoby,

Gomez does not support the neighborhoods, Adelson does. I guess you voted for gridlock.


Bledsoe

Adelson, Wood, Bynum,--NO on all three charter amendments

Mayor:  Perkins.  Mostly because he isn't the other two . . . who I know very little about except what the hate about the other candidates.  When in doubt, vote 3rd party.

City Counsel:  Not Bynum.  Nothing against him, but he hasn't excited me.  Since he will likely win reelection with ease . . . so keep him on his toes.

Auditor:  Preston.  The other guy has made a career of it and done OK, time for some new blood.  If the two options appear to be a wash, I usually vote the guy out of office.

(That's one independent, one republican, and one democrat)

Propositions:

1) FOR requirements for city auditor.  What should the standards for Tulsa, a $600,000,000 a year entity, be lesser than small corporations?   If you don't understand auditing, you very well may be missing things while supervising the cities finances.

2) Against staggered city counsel positions.  I only want to hear about politics every now and then, not constantly.  Additionally, I fear that a staggered term would allow the standing counselors to beat the newcomers into line . . . no matter how bad the voters want change.

3) FOR requiring approval to give away $1,000,000.  That's a lot of money and I don't want a potential despot to be able to pay off their cronies in a lawsuit.  Face it, in Tulsa the mayor is likely very wealthy and ingrained with other very wealthy people in town.  If the city is in a large financial dispute with a company, the odds are very good significant local interest are at play.  And those interests have a high likelihood of involving the direct finances of friends and acquaintances of the mayor.   It would be only natural to want to side with your friends, if not on a corruption level at least on the level of giving them the benefit of the doubt.  I hope the city attorney & outside counsel can advise the city counsel on the best course of action (if the best course of action is "legally we don't owe the money" then I hope we don't pay it without getting something back).

I'm curious about the numbers.  Anyone look at their number when voting?  I like to wait until after 12 to vote, to see how many people voted in the morning.
 

cannon_fodder

I voted at 7:20 and was # 36 at the Ranch Acres precinct.

You do know Perkins has more guns than Rambo, a lifetime hunting license, and never said one word about limiting any type of firearm?

Good to know blatant lies work on some people.

We can do write-ins? I went to school with Perkins from K-9th, really nice guy.
