	Report Comment Mar, Tulsa (10/25/2009 11:42:07 AM) "The first will be shown live Tuesday night on Cox cable channel 3. ..." Finally! Oh darn, Tuesday night I have plans and I can't record it. I hope Cox cable channel 3 shows it several different times this coming week, so everyone that wants to watch it can. So Morlan, what do you suggest. Tulsa lure people from other towns and states with promises of jobs, money, a home to move here? I like the fact that our land area is too big (more room to grow and develop), and population density being low, that way we are not over crowded.
	Report Comment FUTURE WORLD, Tulsa (11/4/2009 7:47:40 PM) I'd just like to see a civil debate that truly focused on the issue we are facing. It would be nice if the candidates were to focus on giving us solid proposals on how each would approach those problems.
	Report Comment Centrist, the burbs (10/25/2009 5:13:23 AM) It's coming down to the wire with only two weeks left to make your decision Tulsans. It will be interesting to see if the two continue to sling mud in their debates. I am wondering why the the other Independent candidate is not included though.
	Report Comment Corvetteguy, Tulsa (10/25/2009 4:22:10 PM) This ought to be good. Time to take the gloves off.
	Report Comment Morlan, Tulsa (10/25/2009 7:20:07 AM) None of the candidates for Mayor are addressing Tulsa's fundamental problem. Tulsa's land area is too big and its population density is too low. Consideration needs to be given to reducing the foot print of the City to reduce its cost of operation.
