Any Gomez sightings?

[LongtimeTulsan]

So far Gomez has voted against neighborhoods - Ridge Point, Fire Sprinkler systems in old highrises, and the deregulation of flashing lights.

He's not returned emails or calls to Forest Orchard, Kendall Whittier, or Florence Park. Nor has he made an appearance at several neighborhood meetings or events.

Anyone know of anything he has done for neighborhoods?

I am not surprised.  He is a Republican, and in the home building/infill construction business.  He doesn't care at all about history or preservation of Tulsa historic neighborhoods.

I voted for Maria Barnes.

He voted against something that would require high-rise residential to put in sprinklers quickly at high cost to the residents but give commercial properties 20 years to do it. From what I can tell you are complaining that Gomez isn't coddling the groups Maria coddled and paying attention to the groups Maria ignored. There was a thread on here pre-election that showed that some areas Maria paid attention to and others she ignored. It is foolish to think every neighborhood, especially those that don't like Gomez to start with, will be getting the same level of attention. The KW neighborhood association is run by Maria, is it not?

Gomez is/was a realtor. I doubt he's built much more than a doghouse.

I'm told by someone who had been invited that there was a breakfast fundraiser for Eric Gomez Monday morning (May 5). It was headlined by Congressman Sullivan.

That's interesting timing. The cutoff date for the next ethics report (due May 12) was May 1, so any contributions after that date don't have to be reported until October. (See 51 O.S. 315, paragraphs 4 and 5.)

Still, I would hope Councilor Gomez would see the virtue in including these contributions on his May report. Making the earliest possible disclosure of his list of contributors would help to defuse any concerns or suspicions.

While the letter of the ethics act allows him to delay reporting, the spirit of the law is that the voters should know, preferably before the election, but certainly as soon as possible afterwards, who funded a candidate's campaign and thus might influence his decisions as a public official.

Is this the first time he has had to report contributions since the election?

Yes. The previous filing date was before the election, which showed roughly $3000 in contributions. He seemed to have spent much more than that.

I saw Councilor Eric Gomez at the City Council Public Works subcommittee meetings this morning at eight o'clock. He was there working.

He was at the Swan Lake Neighborhood association meeting taking lots of notes.
