Former Tulsa mayors Susan Savage and Kathy Taylor are drawn into the fray of Tulsa's race for mayor. The race is non-partisan so Savage says she doesn't get it.

The nonpartisan mayoral primary is next Tuesday. So let's examine the major initiatives being bantered about by the two major candidates, Mayor Dewey Bartlett and City Councilor G.T. Bynum.

Fire Department officials said this week that 15 of the 65 new firefighters funded through Vision Tulsa would be assigned to the city’s new east Tulsa fire station once it is constructed. The remaining 50 firefighters would be hired to put a fourth man on a truck.

Organizers say they are disappointed Mayor Dewey Bartlett won't attend the League of Women Voters of Metropolitan Tulsa's mayoral forum Wednesday. The forum begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Thomas K. McKeon Center for Creativity on the downtown campus of Tulsa Community College, 910 S. Boston Ave.

Every Sunday between now and the June 28 primary, incumbent Mayor Dewey Bartlett and his main challenger, City Councilor G.T. Bynum, will answer questions submitted by Tulsans.

Asked why commissioners did not provide time for public comments before the vote, Wilson said the commissioners were acting to preserve the will of the people as expressed in the vote.

Every Sunday between now and election day, incumbent Mayor Dewey Bartlett and his main challenger, City Councilor G.T. Bynum, will answer one question a week submitted by Tulsans.

Every Sunday between now and election day, incumbent Mayor Dewey Bartlett and his main challenger, City Councilor G.T. Bynum, will answer one question a week submitted by Tulsans. This week's question comes from north Tulsa resident Mona Herrion.
