Doesn't appear she'll need to unless someone steps up to challenge her. She's too popular right now and only 1 year left until the election. |

As is being reported by NewsOK (and NOT the Whirled), Mayor Kathy Taylor will be changing press secretaries for the fifth time in three years. http://mobile.newsok.com/tulsan-john-durkee-resigns-as-communications-director/article/3356564....having some difficulty keeping on message, eh? Sounds like Durkee left on his own terms, really has nothing to do about Taylor, except that he worked for her. If you are implying that she is hard to work for, an awful mayor and can't get along with others, I really dont see it in this article. Not saying I like or dislike the mayor, but she cant really shoulder the blame here. |

Her approval rating is at 60%. Considering 25% of people wouldn't be happy if Jesus was Mayor, that means her real score is closer to 80%. |

I do not know anyone that likes the mayor. I don't think we have had a good mayor in 50 years or more.

I know lots of people that like the mayor. I think that she is a better mayor than we have had in 50 years or more. //Got nothing... |

I know it doesn't have to do with governing exactly but she went out of her way to keep a promise to my Nephew with special needs.

You obviously don't get out much, do you? She's quite popular. Even people who don't agree with everything she's done will agree that she's been incredibly effective at moving an agenda forward. Driven people aren't out to make friends and it's hard to argue with progress. I didn't vote for her last time and have been a very harsh critic of her at various points in her admin, but have to say, I can't see myself not voting for her this time around. I do know people who don't "like" her who are planning on voting to give her another term. |

Well, she has no personal interest in Tulsa. Sometimes her machinations for bigger and better public offices through resume-padding projects and such happen to benefit the city.

I'd suspected a run-up for US HOR or Gov. but that obviously doesn't seem to be of interest at this point since she's going to run for Mayor again. |

Yes, their (sic) have been at least two polls. One was taken just before the big ice storm. She was at about a 55 percent approval rating then. Another was taken a few months ago. She was at a 60 percent approval rating. It's not to say that a big clusterf*ck couldn't occur between now and Election Day. But when you factor those strong approval ratings and the inherent power of incumbency, she's looking almost unbeatable. |

As far as the topic goes, John Durkee got offered a job elsewhere back in radio. That is why they need to hire a new press secretary.
