Oh boy, more city council-Mayor shenanigans...

Biggest Rat Pack I have ever seen.

"pack" was not the 4 letter word that came to my mind

Wish I owned a large chunk of land in the town I live in. They greatly overpay for land while they scream budget shortfall.

Tulsa still can't compete on this.

Conan brought up a good point with the attention that DT Tulsa is getting nationally from MSNBC and Man v Food.

Has anyone heard from Maria about how her district is doing with all the extra attention?

She is still our councilor right?

One certain former D-4 councillor and I were chatting about that at a party last week.  He suggested I run for the bucketofshit er city council.  I don't think he wants any more of it either, I think he's getting more help for the contituents than she is based on the number of calls he still gets.

I thought she did rather well first time around, but it's like she's been AWOL this entire term other than trying to usurp the RFP process on the old fire station off the BA frontage road near Cherry St.

Haha.."Contituents"...I see what you did there Conan.....

She was one of the celebrity judges for the Back Alley side search last weekend, but she came, ate cobbler, and left two hours before she was supposed to judge.

That's strange.  She used to show up to everything having to do with the neighborhoods in D4...but that was the her first term.

[Conan71]

Sounds like she's just enjoying that $1500 a month check for showing up at council meetings and not much else.

This is just thrilling:

Kick 'em all out and begin again.  With a new form of government, preferably.

Can anyone explain how Pauling is still on the city dole considering his hiring was explicitly against city hiring policies?  His wife was already employed in the city legal department, which (if I understood correctly) means he's her boss which is against nepotism rules.  I believe this is one of the other causes of action brought up in Eagleton's investigation/petition/manifest/screed.

I heard that yesterday they were all calling each other poo poo heads and throwing spit wads.

It went poorly.
