1. For the first time in 30 years, Tulsa will be creating a new Comprehensive Plan. What do you think are the key issues that need to be addressed in the Comp Plan?
Quality home/business store development with a lot of free parking, ease of access for all of Tulsa . Safe and secure parks, activity centers . Development around Arkansas river and route 66.
2. What kind of downtown do you envision for Tulsa? What kind of downtown do you think we need in order to compete effectively with other cities?
Well maintained streets, activity centers, free parking and easy access to downtown parking and Events.
3. What steps can Tulsa take to stop the sales tax drain from the city to suburban municipalities?
Improve and act on recommendations above, bring more good Quality stores, and activities for families. Have route 66 as a beautiful scenic route with old-time looking stores, business and rest parks
4. 30% of Tulsans don’t drive (the young, the elderly, the disabled, those who can’t afford a car, and those who prefer to walk or bike). What can we, as a city, do to make Tulsa more walkable? What role should mass transit play in Tulsa’s future?
Have a better diversity of Quality jobs and shopping centers by homes, duplexes where people live
5. The current city council passed a resolution requiring police officers to check the immigration status of “all suspected illegal aliens.” Do you support or oppose this resolution and why?
We as a society should value and uphold our current laws, example if you drive you need a valid drivers license and insurance. Those in our country need to be here legally. Police officers check to make sure our car tags & licenses are legal they need to be allowed to make sure our citizens are legal as well.
6. What should the City of Tulsa do to help support historic preservation efforts, both in neighborhood and downtown? Do you think “old” buildings are important to our future? Why/why not?
Those of historical significance bring charm and beauty to a city if they are maintained. We should try to keep them and allow private business a opportunity to have and maintain some of them.
7. If an anonymous donor wanted to give each council district $5 million to be spent in any way, how would you spend it?
I would give those in my district the chance to voice their ideas and concerns what to do with that some of money. I would desire getting input from those in my district because I represent them.
