City councilor proposing one-penny increase to sales tax for police and fire
TULSA, Ok. - AM 740 and FM 102.3 News/Talk KRMG's Steve Berg reports City Councilor Jack Henderson knows he's going way out on that political limb and, so far, no other councilors are going with him. The Tulsa World reports that he's proposing a one-penny increase to the city's sales tax that would go toward police and fire and also parks. But he would put it to a vote of the people. Five councilors have already come out against the idea, according to the newspaper, and the other three say they're undecided. If voters did approve it, Tulsa's sales tax would go from just over 8.5-percent to just over 9.5-percent. Henderson told the paper it's still to be decided how the money would be divided up among police, fire and parks. Councilors will talk about it today at their committee meeting.
