From the Open Letter from Tulsa Councilors Bynum and Westcott concerning Charter Amendment No 3

"The most recent example of this problem was the Great Plains lawsuit settlement, which totalled $7.1 million.   The City Council had no authority to approve or reject that settlement.  The only thing that we could do was verify that there was sufficient money in the Sinking Fund to pay the settlement."

Dewey Bartlett did have the authority to approve or reject it, and he voted to Approve. (watch the vote here)

So vote YES on the Charter Amendment 3 and NO on Dewey Bartlett Jr. for mayor.
