born okay the 1st time, tulsa (10/31/2009 3:24:15 PM)

Well lets see, midtown is the most desirable area of tulsa, like that's surprising or something?
Pffffffft
Stupid news story. Must be a slow day.

It's where all the rich politicians live, and their neighborly motto is: You donate to my campaign, and I'll take care of you and your interests. It sure worked for Kathy Taylor. Why do you think there has been so much emphasis on downtown development?

loudshirt, (10/31/2009 3:55:27 PM)

Well really nobody in North or East Tulsa has the money to run for mayor.

FUTURE WORLD, Tulsa (10/31/2009 3:58:38 PM)

loudshirt, that about says it all. It takes money, friends in high places, and political clout to run for mayor. Kathy Taylor's hood has it all.

Thunder196, Tulsa (10/31/2009 4:13:38 PM)

Don't know what to think of it? One word "money".
If they look down their noses at us in our neighborhood, as Taylor has, we will still be begging for help the election after this one.

GrannyTazzy, Tulsa (10/31/2009 4:53:32 PM)

the rich stay in their neighborhood, and the middle class stay in their neighborhood, and the poor stay in theirs, so is this any surprise?
At lest we have a new million dollar mansion in our neighborhood, only thing is you gotta be homeless, a drug addict, or mentally insane to live their!!!

Few Clothes, America (10/31/2009 6:33:14 PM)

born okay the 1st time. It's been a slow day for news all day and on all stories. Yawn. I'm sure the TW has some great stories of a tulip under snow or other mundane headlines.

Nuff, (10/31/2009 6:42:49 PM)

Honestly, this is not the type of marlarkey that P.J. usually writes. I'd expect this from Jay Cronley, but not P.J.

Is Cronley on vacation?

Whoknew?, Tulsa (10/31/2009 7:19:41 PM)

This is news why? People live where they want or can afford.

CWG, Tulsa (10/31/2009 7:21:25 PM)

Poor people vote for rich people, so what is newsworthy about that fact?

FUTURE WORLD, Tulsa (10/31/2009 7:22:47 PM)

No it's not big news or anything. But it is interesting that we don't have Mayor's from poor or moderate income neighborhoods. And I propose those citizens would make just as good Mayor's if not better than the Mayor's we have had from queen Kitty's hood.

Max Headroom, Any where USA (10/31/2009 8:18:34 PM)

I bet they all live in an area where there are houses.

FUTURE WORLD, Tulsa (10/31/2009 8:23:01 PM)

No Max unfortunately they don't. No houses in their neighborhood. Just Mc Mansions.

cheesepoff, That place next to BA (10/31/2009 9:03:37 PM)

Future World we do not have people from poor to moderate to self made rich neighborhoods because 1. their to smart and thus stay in the private sector. 2. They have no history so no name recognition. 3. Most politicians become politicians because they are not smart enough to survive the private sector. There are several mansions elsewhere in Tulsa and most of those people are new money and unlike the midtown old money groups they don't flaunt it. I have seen bigger mansions in bum**** Oklahoma then in midtown but the midtown money like those in my old home of Boston like to flaunt it and think they are better then every one else. The biggest houses in Tulsa are not in midtown those are just the ones that are flaunted. I will take a poor person with new money backing over some of these old money/politician fools.

aint missbehavin, .. (10/31/2009 9:25:04 PM)

Yikes,feelinnnn like Tammy from the hoods.What the heck,why not just give their address's out for everyone to go picket their homes.old,new,who cares!....I just want to know when they are havin a yard sale.

okie ridgerunner, Small Country Town State Line (10/31/2009 9:44:44 PM)

You know they all think they are better and smarter than the rest of us.I do know one thing they can lie better.

aint missbehavin, .. (10/31/2009 9:49:18 PM)

Oh Im sure.Im sure their might be alot of that goin on.

Lance-a-lot, Tulsa (11/1/2009 12:19:14 AM)

I bet all of these hustlers turn out the lights and hide from trick or treaters. Either that, or they kidnap the children and eat them at a block party for the corrupt, political machine known as "midtown".

Still, even though he is "one of them", I will take Perkins over the other two clowns.

Nuff, (11/1/2009 6:40:36 AM)

Big whoop! Print something news worthy.

tulsan09, Tulsa (11/1/2009 7:30:24 AM)

You read it Nuff.

TinkinAround, Tulsa (11/1/2009 8:53:05 AM)

THANK YOU Few Clothes and Whoknew? for summarizing the point. Because there wasn't one. PJ! What the hey?

BetterorWorse, (11/1/2009 9:31:13 AM)

The story hit the mail on the head:

"Shelly Boggs, assistant Tulsa County Election Board Secretary, said that is AN ESTABLISHED AREA WHERE VOTERS GO TO THE POLLS"

Tulsa will not see a change in its leadership by midtown elitists until the rest of Tulsa gets out and votes for a candidate that can truly know and will represent all of Tulsa.

Tulsa also cant sit back and complain when they get the Mayor they dont like if they dont get out and vote or take the time to known the candidates but just vote on party lines.

Ray, (11/1/2009 10:46:05 AM)

VOTE MARK PERKINS.... the TW won't write an article on him. I don't care where he lives; how about what he stands for, etc?

Corvetteguy, Tulsa (11/1/2009 2:02:05 PM)

I think whoever wins the Mayor's office should be forced to move their personal residence to the heart of north Tulsa.

The crack of gunfire and bullets whistling overhead in the middle of the night, might just give them a new first-hand, up-close perspective on violent crime and the very little we are doing about it as a group of people.

I did hear candidate Tom Adelson discuss shootings and stabbings in one of his Tv commercials. the he talks about some sort of support for young people.

I want to hear about long prison terms with hard labor during incarceration. I want to hear about no-parole sentences and life without possibility of parole for third time offenders. I want to hear about demanding more ICE presence in Tulsa. And I want to hear the Mayor candidates give there take on why there isn't one single north Tulsa so-called leader demanding these longer prison terms. We've heard about racial profiling out of some so-called leaders, but I'm not hearing anything about how to keep criminals away from honest, hard working citizens, some of which are the majority of these so-called leader's constituents.

How about some straight talk about violent crime solutions> Do any of you have the courage to address the real issues? Speak up...

Daven, Tulsa (11/1/2009 3:55:33 PM)

Hmm. I found it interesting.
