(Tulsa, OK) - INCOG is taking a closer look at commuter rail. The agency has applied for federal money to study four corridors linking Tulsa with its suburbs. One of those suburbs is Sand Springs and City Manager Doug Enevoldsen says the service would help our region be more competitive economically. "To be competitive in the growth race and to compete with other metropolitan areas around the country it's important that we have mass transit options available to our citizens." Sand Springs has had a commuter line linking it to Tulsa in the past and Enevoldsen says by the 1930's it was carrying one-million passengers a year. Broken Arrow, Bixby, Jenks and Owasso will also be considered. The $2 million study still needs federal backing and would also require $400,000 in local matching funds. If approved, it could start as early as March.

(Sand Springs) -- It's an epidemic: Sales tax revenues are down across Oklahoma. And Sand Springs is not immune. City Manager Doug Enevoldsen says August sales tax revenues declined 7.1% compared to August, 2008. Enevoldsen says the city's disbursement from the Oklahoma Tax Commission totaled $771, 616. That's nearly $59,000 less than last year. The August figures reflect sales in the last half of June and first half of July. Enevoldsen says no layoffs are planned and there will not be a tax increase. He says there is a hiring freeze on filling vacant positions.
