Tulsa mayor seeks 0.7-cent sales tax hike to fund first responders, homelessness aid, and infrastructure, with vote set for February 10.
Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols proposes a 0.7-cent sales tax increase to raise $80 million annually for first responders, homelessness services, and infrastructure, with the measure set for a February 10 ballot if approved by the City Council by November 19.
The plan, which would raise the city’s rate to 4.35%, has sparked debate over timing and transparency, with council members citing insufficient public input and unclear fund allocation.
Some worry the increase could drive shoppers to lower-tax neighboring cities.
Mayor Nichols argues delay is not an option, emphasizing urgent financial needs and the necessity of the measure.
