TULSA, Ok. - Tulsa Mayor Dewey Bartlett orders city department managers to cut their budgets and plan for more layoffs. He says the sales tax is down and there is no sign of improvement in the foreseeable future. Tulsa City Councilor Bill Christiansen (shown) finds it's a hard job to do. He says, "The budgets in all the departments have already been cut and now they're going to be cut even more and it's a really difficult task." The new city council met for the first time last night. The mayor told his managers to have the cuts ready by next Friday. They would go into effect after the holidays.
